Deer Hunting Crossbows

Crossbows are being used more by deer hunters right now than ever. This is most likely die to the fact that many states have loosened up on their laws regarding the use of crossbows for deer hunting. You see, it did not always used to be this way. In order to use a crossbow to hunt, you had to have a special permit allowing you to do so. Most people who had become or were handicap were given such a permit so that they could continue to participate in the sport of hunting.

As I was saying, because of the increase in crossbow use for deer hunting, the more advance the industry has become. In the past couple of years they have come a long way. We have come far from the old stick and string days. Yes sir, these bows are machines. One of the newest models, the Bowtech Stryker" puts out an amazing 405 feet per second. Folks, that is sheer amazing power. You have to hear what 405 feet per second actually looks like and what it sounds like. Bowtech has a video on YouTube about their new production and it is pure awesomeness. You have to see it for yourself, the arrow sounds like Dale Earnhardt coming around turn three on the last lap. For those of you who aren't Nascar fans, then that means that it is hauling the mail. Now this amazingly fast deer hunting crossbow also comes with a price. A tad bit over 1,000 dollars I believe. But just like anything else, you do get what you pay for - that is in most cases. If it was up to me, and money was not a question, I would without a doubt go with the Barnett Predator crossbow for deer hunting. It does like 375 feet per second which is plenty of speed for my tastes. The real kicker that attracted my attention is the way it looks. I know what your probably thinking and it is not true. I am not immediately attracted and buying everything that looks could because if I would then every decent marketer would have a roll of my money in their pocket. The Jaguar crossbow is a good example for this type of discussion. It only costs $160 and looks great. However, I am a little skeptic about it because of the price. However, most of the reviews on it may be biased, but you never know with reviews.

I actually have a Barnett Wildcat and am really satisfied with it. It came at a decent price and I think that is has a 150lb draw back weight. It shoots decently quiet for adder hunting crossbow and the trigger is simply sweet. By sweet I mean really smooth. When I used to think of crossbows, I would think of this really heavy. un-smooth trigger that would not be fun to shoot. An boy was I wrong! The wildcat, I have to say is worth the money. It was in the media,n yet still expensive price range for a deer hunting crossbow.
