Hello all, been quite a while since I have posted, but I have lurked around a bit. Hope everyone is doing well.

How many of you are going to go grab up the new BAT Crossbow Pistol ... yep heard me right lol, Honey I Shrunk the Raven LOL >

I can tell you now the pic with the reel on the end of it for reeling in your fish, if you forget to release the line before firing .... ummm it might be hazardous to your family jewels lol, I can just see it taking a nose dive and coming back at you at a perfect arc, kind of like a bad cast .... just somewhat lower LOL

But all jokes aside it looks cool, and I could see myself giving it a test fire or two. Just thought I'd share a tidbit I found interesting.

Welcome back!
I held the Ballista-Bat at the ATA show recently. It felt like a cool little well made hand toy. To be honest I don't think I would use it to hunt anything bigger than a bunny rabbit using the Ballista.

Yeah, it looks cool and might be a hoot to shoot, but not sure I could take it seriously for any type of hunting until I did a lot more playing around with it. You never know though it might surprise a lot of people, myself included. The Reverse Bat from what I read is pretty swift. I just couldn't get over the fishing reel on the end of it in one of the last pics of the article lol. The new Pocket Fisherman.

It's pretty, but personally I prefer the rod and reel for the fish.
I don't think it's of much use for hunting.
