Carbon Express X Force Blade Pro Crossbow
It will be fun shooting, my new Carbon Express X Force Blade Pro Crossbow. Saw this in the archery shop, and decided to go home and look at as much information as I could

I've never shot a crossbow J_B. That one is pretty cool and it sounds like fun. (Especially if you have a young guy around to cock it. )

Nice, JB! Enjoy.
That's what the crank is for, rman.

Rman that crank lets this old crank, pull that string up to cock it. It ratchets one click at a time holding the bow string from returning or busting your knuckles. It's really quite fun, and less strain on my back and hips as I can sit and shoot rather stand and shoot like when shooting my vertical compound bow. As age takes it's wear on me.... I would rather sit with the cocked and locked bow (safety on) than pull back fully drawn with a bow.
You just can't help hit bullseyes with a scoped crossbow

I sure hope the Libtards don't see the cranking device and the pistol grip. They'll declare it an "Assault Crossbow" and demand it be banned.

Sorry to show my ignorance JB. You used to have to put your foot in the loop and pull your guts out to cock them. That's a cool setup.

Rman, I have a pull cord as well, it's just so easy with the crank Accuracy is awesome with this crossbow, so much so that I clipped on of my moon nocks, and you can see the fletching in the break... the shaft got ruined as well.
Crossbow is zero'd in by J_B, on Flickr
