I got my first crossbow kill of any kind yesterday afternoon. I am an avid vertical bow hunter but decided to buy a crossbow on Black Friday last year. It was pretty cheap and I have young kids that I thought might want to give it try in a year or two. My dad also killed his first archery with it last fall. So needless to say I’m happy I bought it.
Anyway, I got settled about 5:00 yesterday afternoon and by 6:30 I had this guy strutting in. I was not in a blind and When he came in facing me I was glad I didn’t have to try and draw a bow. I squeezed the trigger when he was at 20 yards and that was it. You can see my decoy in the picture. He didn’t go far. I’ll shoot a regular bow until I’m too old to draw it but the xbow was a fun change of pace from a shotgun or regular bow.
