I had a busted rod a few years back and called them, they sent a free hub assembly in the mail for free as this blind is cover...

Re: Why did you buy an X-bow?

hunting in high winds

normally i wouldn't hunt in winds more than 30 km/hr, and tomorrow is going to be 30 km/hr but some gusts up to 50 km/hr.. i don't anticipate much deer movement but seeing how it's the last day of the season, me and a buddy are going to head out for the morning... i have heard people say they've kil...

Re: lots of deer, no shot
