Post by: jserio on October 27, 2007, 06:06:22 PM
since every state has an archery season no matter what you're hunting i think i may purchase a crossbow for hunting. now, who uses em and what do you use and why?  :dunno_white:

Bow hunting is exactlly that in Oklahoma, crossbows are a big no no for hunting here, or at least for those who are not physically disabled.

You will feel better carrying a proper longbow with a quiver of arrows strapped to your back and a hunting knife to your belt.

Hehehe happy hunting!

Some states do allow crossbows during rifle season. Check the regs to be sure.

i'm trying to get an idea as to brand names etc that you use personally or have friends or family that use etc. i've googled a few names and of course they all say they are the best.  :laugh: the top 3 hits i get when i just google "crossbows" are , horton, barnett and excalibur.  :dunno_white:
