why jelly 0 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Brilliant bit of kit if you like projectiles flying through the air at 200 mph+++++, but just what do you do with them after you buy one? I've got one, brilliant for killing "big bales" and they are quite addictive when you start plinking at stuff, BUT if the bolt does and will come out of the back of your target, get ready to leave the country if it happens to hit anybody I'll sell you mine if you like, you'll need a session or three on a multi gym first though as it needs re-assembling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
inan 841 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) hi im looking to get either a bow or a crossbow could somone tell me which ones to get for a beginner thanks I have to echo the other posters,I'm afraid why would you want one? I have two crossbow bolts in my conservatory,I found them on my permission,they were embedded in a dead swan,two weeks later "William Tell" killed its mate. I would have liked to "interview " Master Tell , but sadly he has not resurfaced. Edited November 5, 2009 by inan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

froese11 1 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 ummm what is wrong with crossbows? How are they barbaric? Just treat it like a gun and it is perfectly safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RicW 67 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 hi im looking to get either a bow or a crossbow could somone tell me which ones to get for a beginner thanks Some small-bore target rifle clubs have cross-bow ranges. Check out clubs in your area, talk to the guys who use bows there. Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
