Hopefully they'll feet per second their way out of archery season and into rifle season.
It hasn't. Me and 2 of my buddies leased some land in Fulton County on the archery only side and they both use crossbows.How has the inclusion of crossbows negatively impacted "your" hunting?
So what's your minimum FPS then ?...cost about 10% of that one and I don't see the need for anything that cost more.
The open based on resistance force so it makes no difference. Bigger issue would be deploying before they got there due to the increased speed and inertia, which is why the are making the locking mechanisms for them now for crossbows.I wonder how that kind of speed would affect mechanical broadheads. Would seem to me they wouldn't have time to open before they were totally through the deer. If I had money to burn I suppose I would buy one just to have it but I can't see spending that kind of money on a crossbow especially one that weighs 10 pounds!!!
So what's your minimum FPS then ?
I have a 370 fps and a 410 fps, knowing that they don't hit those fps numbers unless you have the manufacturers bolts, and both my crossbows and have yet to not have a complete pass through on deer out to 40 yards and both of my crossbows were under $250.
It says the electric cocking device is operated by a 12 volt battery?
Whose gonna pack one of them in the woods—
My bad!! The first thing that came to mind when I read that was a car battery on a $3500 xbow lolThere are 12V batteries in a lot of key fobs, the 23As or something like that. They aren't all the size of those ones that run the kids cars.
The Wedge will stop it. It stops my 410 fps xbowMy center point shoots 415fps and I have not found a target that will stop the bolt
