Re: cross bows

Cause nothing says silent and stealthy like a chain saw!

It does fit you though. Anyone know the price?

Re: cross bows

I don't know the price.

The chainsaw for when I no longer need to be stealthy.

Re: cross bows

I don't know if they are, for sure, on the market yet. I am seriously considering one.

That's when you drop the crossbow upper and slip in the AR upper. Or pull out that modified Redhawk and moon them, or whatever it is you do with that thing and it's moon clips.

Re: cross bows

Yeah but the chain saw adds a bit of class.

I bet the arrows are expensive.

Crossbow bolts for the Tac 15 run about $90 a dozen, but other bolts can be had for around $25.00 a dozen and all bolts are re-usable when retreived. The specs on the Tac 15 is pushing at over 400 fps. Now if you have the money for the Tac 15 upper, and already currently own an AR 15 lower, then your in good.

Our modern crossbows are a far improvement over crossbows of yesteryear that you will find in military history. There is just no comparing them, as they are apples to oranges in differance.

Re: cross bows

I looked at crossbows a couple years ago and the Barnett had to have a new string every 200 shots, the Hortons they claimed would last a season. That combined with the high initial cost I said forget it as in NH the season runs concurrent with the firearms season for deer. I have bow hunted for many years and the last 4 years I have gotten a deer with a bow and nothing with a firearm. The Bow is a nasty weapon as it will pass thru a deer unless you catch the shoulder bone in which case it may break the bone but won't penetrate to the vitals. I once killed a deer that did not even know it had been shot. I shot and it zipped thru both lungs. She ran about 10 years to behind a bush and stopped and looked to see what the noise was. She stood there for what seemed like forever just looking in my general direction (I was in a tree stand) turned and walked 10 more yards and fell over. Never knew she had been hit.

The 2" grouping at a 100 yards with a crossbow may be possible but not in my hands.
