    I have an old Barnett Ranger crossbow (some pictures here: imgur.com/a/9BNlIVm It is quite old and I can't find much specific info about it. (I think it is 150lb draw, although one site said 120lb). It originally came with four 15 inch 2117 aluminium bolts (flatnock), but by the time I got it...

  6. Barnett Crossbows
    Couldn't find the minimum listed anywhere, and the universal owner's manual specifies to use 'proper length' but doesn't say any more. The xbow comes with two 18" arrows. They do say that 380 grains is the minimum for arrow weight, and I'm wondering if 16" arrows (field point), 400+ grains are...
  7. Ravin Crossbows
    Well I did it... After reading a bunch of forums and asking questions on here I ordered the R10 today! I cannot wait for it to come in next week. With that said this will be my first crossbow, so im excited and nervous since I have never shot one before (been shooting a compound for many years)...
  8. Excalibur Crossbows
    My xbow is an Excalibur. Is the lever's purpose to hold an arrow in place in case of tilting? If I was to need to tilt my crossbow at say a 45 degree angle to take a shot, how would this affect my desired point of impact?

    Lighted crossbow nocks can be a really cool accessory to add to your arrows. They allow hunters to follow their arrows in flight better, and also aid in helping to find arrows that have passed through animals buried into the floor of the woods. Even if you only intend on shooting your bow at...

    An important part of being a successful crossbow hunter is spending lots of time with your bow practicing with it.  But one area that discourages some crossbow hunters from practicing as often as they should is the fact that pulling arrows from certain foam targets can be down right impossible. ...

    As crossbow hunters, we all want the most from our hunting equipment. One area we all should strive to get better at is our accuracy. There are many factors that come into play when achieving great accuracy with our crossbows. Some we can’t control. Like how well our crossbows are engineered to...

    There are more choices in crossbow arrows today than there ever has been. When I first started hunting with a horizontal bow over 20 years ago, we had one choice in an arrow which was aluminum. Depending on what manufacturer your bow was, you could either shoot a flat crossbow nock or had to...

    The Bohning Blazer vane has earned a reputation of being a bulletproof vane that provides excellent broadhead steering for arrows shot from today’s modern compound bows. But with crossbow hunting on the rise, is the Blazer vane a suitable contender for crossbow arrows? The answer is an...

    What is arrow Front of Center, and how do I figure out my Front of Center? F.O.C is a term used to express the percentage of weight forward from the center of the arrow. Having good F.O.C. is not only important in obtaining good down range accuracy, but crucial when it comes to achieving good...

    Moon nocks or flat nocks. What kind of nock should I shoot? The correct answer is whatever your crossbow manufacturer recommends. There is however, one exception to the rule. If your crossbow manufacture recommends you to shoot flat nocks, it will not hurt your crossbow to shoot an arrow with a...
