Thinking of buying a crossbow to introduce my son to hunting. He's only 7 years old, but has been on numerous hunts with me over the years and wants to try it for himself. Here in Ohio he can hunt for up to 3 years with an apprentice license without any special educational courses to pass, but must be with me (licensed hunter) when he hunts.
He is very small statured, and there is no way he can handle a full sized stock (such as my Excalibur) and shoot accurately without a bench rest. We were in the local pro shop and he had a RC-150 with the stock extension removed on hand. It fit perfectly! I told him that was what I needed to get my son started and he said he would sell me one at cost to get him started.
Is the RC-150 a dependable crossbow and accurate enough for deer hunting at close (less tham 25 yards) range?
