[QUOTE="Hirschkopf, post: 4319301, member: 50724"] I’ve been planning on buying a crossbow for at least a year largely because of the longer hunting season. And, I hope to get started (and finished) before all the deer on my place go nocturnal or somewhere else like they did last year! To keep shopping simple, I stuck with Ravin because all my Kansas Kin use them, and their walls are covered with monsters, including a buck my BIL put a bolt through in 2022 that scored 244 5/8” (Buckmaster’s Deer of the Year). I pre-ordered a Ravin R50X from Scheels on 14 Feb with a “coming this Spring” ship date, but that’s now projected for sometime between late September and Christmas. I might cancel that order, but to get familiar with something I’d never used before prior to opening day, I headed to Scheels tonight; they had the base model R29X $600 off, so one and a cart of accessories followed me home. After assembly, my first two target range shots went in the same hole, so their claim to rifle-like accuracy seems true. I still need to do some backyard practicing and research broadheads (or ask my in-laws), but I can feel the hunting fever rising! Here’s Black Baddie [ATTACH type="full"]506405[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
