crossbow

Post by badgersden »

well finally had a proper practice with my crossbow,went shooting with the old man a lot more powerful then we expected lost a few bolts,got some stuck lol
it is a Armex titian 200lb compound crossbow if anything too powerful think i should have got a 175lb crossbow but will keep practicing to get better, load time is slow due to you need the cocking robe aid and you do need it,

Out of curiosity, what is the recoil like?

I have a little 80lb self cocking crossbow that i put a stock on and that does the job nicely. I personally think that anything around the 150-200lb mark is a little overkill unless your long range target shooting.

Also, again out of curiosity, how heavy is the trigger?

very little recoil i have found but i am used to shooting guns so slightly different,trigger is medium i would say not to heavy but not light,completely different beast to the pistol bow i have fired a pistol bow quite often,
