Crossbows & Crossbow Bolts

More and more hunters are discovering the fun and excitement of hunting with crossbows. Whether you're a long-time bow, rifle, or black-powder hunter, or have never even been in the field before, don't overlook the thrill that crossbow hunting can provide!

Some compound and recurve handbow hunters frown on the use of crossbows as a hunting weapon, feeling it's "too easy" - but that's just one of several misconceptions surrounding this ancient weapon. As you'll discover, crossbows can be just as challenging as a hand bow or rifle when it comes to bringing down both small and big game.

There are many styles of crossbows available today. Some are designed merely for target practice, while others are powerful enough to bring down deer and even larger game. But whether you're rabbit or deer hunting, there's a crossbow available for your hunting style - and your budget. Quality hunting crossbows can be had for as little as $120, and you can easily shell out $600 or more for premium crossbows.

At first blush you may be tempted to think that compound crossbows are the way to go - but wait! Only recurve crossbows provide the near-silent hunting that crossbows beg to be used for. Compound crossbows are comparatively loud next to a recurve - and they're generally alot more expensive as well.

Pistol crossbows are also touched upon within this site, although they have such a low draw strength that they aren't practical for most hunting applications.

Another use for the crossbow is crossbow fishing. A small segment of the population literally hunt for fish from a boat using a specially configured crossbow that allows for retrieval of the bolt, presumably with a fish still attached.

You'll find that there are myriad applications for crossbows, bound to bring you hours of target shooting and hunting pleasure!
