80-20 Genaration
You mean string rifles. I shot that new $3500 ravin contraption the other day out to 100y. It’s unbelievable.
I’m not one to care how a man kills his pine goats. But they are going to have to draw the line somewhere. With a relaxed deer, nose down in a corn pile it is not unethical to shoot a deer at 80-100y with these new crossbows. They are quick enough to make that shooting distance a reality.
This gripe is for places that have an archery season.
NCDNR is discussing The first 2 weeks being drawn bow only, then allowing the crossbow to start up for the remainder of archery.
I checked out the VXR today. Picked up a brochure and the Traverse and Tactic specs also looked good to me. Not sure which but I'm due a new bow but will probably buy after the season.

You just gotta aim at the hair line on the bottom.

The traverse will be 3 models old by the time you are looking to buy. Fantastic bow, just make sure it is priced accordingly. The tactic is their entry level model. Good bow, just “isn’t” what the flagships are. Isn’t as fast, isn’t as dead in the hand, isn’t as smooth, etc. Good bow for the price point - but I think a year or 2 old flagship is the better buy dollar for dollar. Mathews releases their new bows in November. I look for them to add a 33” ata with switchweight cams to the lineup and drop the traverse. It’ll be fun to see what they do to try to improve upon from the VXR. Other than Mathews using garbage strings, the VXR is pretty special.
We've been over this
You aim at the armpit. Right 2th?

Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
Aim low? Nope. Nevermind. Have at it.
Still waiting on the stabilizer to get here but I got the 20 yard pin dialed in last night.
