Crossbow ?

[toasta]

I'm making my list, hmmm, let's see: Ate Poison Oak, fell down an embankment,
found a bullet buried in his multi-tool with no idea how it got there, shot his brother with a cross-bow, real name is Chris, Nick-name is "Lucky".

if am lucky then why did i fall down the embankment? that really hurt

[trax]

Think Sarge called you Lucky cuz you're still here.

Also, FVR's right, it's about the hunter not the tool of choice.

Also, bunny rabbits and possums DON"T attack and eat people where you live Rick? Where's the fun in going outdoors? Where's the challenge?

[Sarge47]

If I had a list like that tacked to my name...I'd get clean outta town!!

That's the problem, he's "outta town" when all that happens!

[Rick]

They just trap us and give us a karate chop on the back of the neck. It hurts but you don't die from it.

[trax]

Man Rick you do manage to bust me up some times...perfect answer dude.

Please, no need to take me as your hunting partner!

Somehow,I think this was directed at me???LMAO!

[Rick]

No, directed at the man who wouldn't die. He just lives on and on and on in this forum.

I always thought a cross bow was a bow that got angry...you know..."cross"..."angry"...no?

Now, let me get this straight... You tie this thing together and expect it to stay put together in the wilderness? not to mention in and out of a backpack... Maybe I missed something here... but I don't remember reading anything about glueing parts together or screwing them together.... clamps anyone? My shoes come undone sometimes.. I don't trust anything that holds something sharp and is tied together. Let's see, you have to put the bolt under the loop each time you load the crossbow? Probably have to tighten the loop after awhile too.

Now, I haven't tried this contraption out .. I'll admit that.. but it sure looks like it is jerry rigged to me. What about when you put feathers on the back side of the bolt (arrow)? will they clear the loop?

[Rick]

You have to put the feathers on BEFORE you fire the bolt Woodwose. You'd have to be pretty quick and nimble to glue 'em on after you fire 'em.

Hmmmm, "What about when you put feathers on the back side of the bolt (arrow)? will they clear the loop?"

I assumed that them thar faythars was on that thar bolt when you put it through the loop...knockin' em loose and then, when ya far the dang thing... it compleets the job o' knockin' em all the way off so thet they fall to the groun to grow more o' them thar faythars..

[Rick]

zactly! nuf sed!

Are we talking about that crossbow kit in the begining? If so that is not one used for hunting game. Most crossbows have a draw weight between 150 and 200 pounds, those twigs tied together would kill a woodchuck, that is not... I repeat... that is not... for use hunting game small or large. Read the first couple of blocks and it says "JUST FOR FUN"

[FVR]

Don 't think so, woodchucks are pretty tough. Been known to take an arrow down a hole with them, or bend and break it trying.

Maybe a woodcock, but then you'd have to hit the darn things. They're hard with a shotgun.

How bout a woodpecker, don't know, down here in Georgia there are some pretty big woodpeckers, they don't tap, tap, tap on trees but rather bang, bang, bang on trees. Ga woodpecker may just take the crossbow and slap you with it.

Wood duck, naaaaa, again hitting them is the hard part.

Maybe a woodjen.

[Beo]

those twigs tied together would kill a woodchuck,

Dang, i meant would not kill a woodchuck.

[Rick]

Frank, would a tin can work? You COULD hit a tin can couldn't you?

[FVR]

With that crossbow, couldn't hit the side of a barn. I'll stick with snares and an atlatl.

Well, unless it's a can of beer, I can hit that beer.

[Rick]

You da man!
