Hey, thanks all for your suggestions on the crossbow hunting. I finally broke down and bought a Barnett Jackal crossbow and I love shooting it already. Local archery shop hooked me up with everything I need and showed me how to care for it. Now I just need to find some deer this fall!  :)

The fun part is figuring out where those multiple crosshairs will hit the 'X'.  We chose to set the top one at fifteen yards and then worked our way back figuring out where the others were on the money. I made a chart taped to the bow so it would be easy to remember.

the HHA optimizer sight takes that cross hair confusion out of the game.  :tup:

Radical Archery Designs has a new crossbow broadhead, 125 grain available, that I would highly recommend.
