Default 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.

Maybe, but I didn't see a high-cap magazine.

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
