It is difficult to choose a bow for someone else, some good advice would be take him to a bow shop, let him pick the right combination that fits his particular...

Re: Hunting in tight quarters

Owning a crossbow has opened up new hunting areas for me, mostly the small tract land in urban areas. I have been kicking over the same questions about how to prevent my deer from leaving the area I have to recover it. Great responses and solves a problem of recovering my deer. Thanks to the OP for ...

Re: Game Cameras

I want a camera that will let me know what wildlife is in the area, and what time it is there. I am not as concerned about the bells and whistles and super megapixel clarity at night. The inexpensive WildGame camera from Rural King works well for what I need. was under $70. Run a cable and lock inst...

Re: Crossbow Shooting Form

Happy Shooting,
Rick
