Title: crossbow question
Post by: pencilsketcher on December 08, 2012, 11:20:11 AM: Ive just got my cross bow permit and I have started researching different crossbows. I have no experiance with cross bows. Anyone have any feed back on what to look for in a crossbow? Is it FPS? Draw wieght? Power stroke?
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks
