Crossbow

My 12 year old son with his Christmas present. I was going to be away for Christmas so we did Christman early. He is hitting out to 50 yards with it. Going to hunt with it when I get home.

Awesome. Looks like he is thrilled, best of luck on the hunt...

Thanks, he is ready to kill a deer.

Should not be a problem with that flinger!

Congrats

Thanks, it is more accurate that I was expecting. 50 yards and his bolts are almost touching.

Awesome

Sounds great, he looks happy and ready to go kill something.

Merry Christmas to all

Cool. What kind is it?

Sweet!

looks like a barnett jackal

remember to keep the string waxed almost after every shot. ive been told

Not necessarily after each shot, but definitely after each shooting session. Congrats.

x2 use the rail lube and wax string occasionally.

Also, get some lumenarrows for him to hunt with. They look really can help to see where the arrow hits.

Looks like a Barnett Jackel

Thanks guys. Yes lumonex (spelling) are on the list. It is a Barnett Jackel, not sure when he will be able to pull it back by himself.

I showed him how to lube the strings, and told him he needs to do it every time he shoots it.

Thats one sweet toy right there

Thanks

Sweet!

Thanks

congrats one happy kid
having formerly owned that exact same x-bow be sure to Lock-Tite or super glue the rail that holds the scope. it got goofy on me 2x.

Great info thanks. Will do that.

the jackal very nice!!!

Now I got to get me a crossbow.

Jackel is a good entry level crossbow. I have the Excalibur Axiom. Its a very good bow! Can get it brand new on ebay for under $400. Wicked Ridge makes another really nice bow. Check out youtube to see the luminock arrows being used. If you hit my youtube channel under jake480 you can see me miss a black bear twice with them! Enjoy, lots of fun!

Cool thanks Jake.

Dang that boy's growing.

Yes sir, 12 years old now. Think he was 8 when we went to your place. Wow the time flies.

He still talks about stepping in that cactus and having to throw his shoe away.

Nice!

Thanks man, 2 more days and I get to bring him hunting with it.

Awesome !! Just bought me a 10 point crossbow this year and shot my biggest buck to date with it . Hope he has just as much luck with his !

Thanks, he is going to try. My only worry is that he won't use the right dot in the scope.

thats a nice present

Thanks, he is always wanting some kind of weapon for his presents. Last birthday he got a AR-15.

Very cool!

Thanks DXB
