That bolt landed exactly where my eye was focused haha. Love it! Hope that those of us who regularly hunt stress the seriousness of this issue when we are introducing people to the sport. The last thing we want to do is take animal suffering lightly
I’m going on my first bow hunt in four weeks-crossbow no less-and it’s been a steep learning curve, but I’m excited. Hoping to tag out for the first time ever.
Excalibur crossbow is the best one to get. There is no need for a bow shop anymore. You can easily change your own string. All you need to buy is bolts and broadheads.
@ericrussell Hold up there happy brand loyalist! Excalibur has had its share of broken limbs and trigger mechanisms. I think you probably want that shop open. Bow presses are common now and compound systems aren’t that bad to change.
Please tell me a single brand that hasn't. I've asked multiple bow shops about the brand they see the least in for repair and it's been Excalibur everytime
@ATMgiver I’m not saying Excalibur isn’t a good crossbow, but just because your local shop said that they haven’t had issues doesn’t mean that Excalibur is the best. In fact, Excalibur has had numerous problems with broken limbs with micro’s and failed trigger systems. They have issued a number of recalls. The only way for Excalibur to make there crossbows faster is to make the draw weight heavier. What do you suppose happens with that? The technology of Excalibur is not overwhelmingly modern.
@@douglasborgaro6801 that's kinda the whole point of Excalibur is to keep it simple. I have never even entrained the ideal of a camed xbow. I got my micro the first year they came out and haven't had a single problem. 1,000s of shots through it and same limbs. I have a exocet from early 90s with same limbs
Why all the hate and anti-crossbow comments? Odd no mention of rifle hunting from hundreds of yards away. If your tool of choice works for you and gets you out hunting: go you.
@Thebeingreal Most of these critics are motivated by their own wrongheaded opinions. They don’t read scientific facts or data. They don’t know it, but this is why they always loose the argument. Some of them will never learn. It doesn’t matter what they say! Crossbows have taken over! The majority is now in support of crossbows. There’s nothing they can do about it!
It is difficult but it isn’t unreasonable do not let people hype you up or get nervous about it I filled 5 tags my very first year archery hunting knock on wood I’ve recovered every deer I’ve shot just know your ranges and be comfortable in your shot and you’ll do just fine my man
Even in rifle hunting, I take shot placement very seriously. So understanding shot placement is not a forigen concept for me. My biggest problem is I've had my crossbow almost a year and I haven't even fired it yet. Took 3 months for the archery place to bring in a crank, then she goes through her storage and finds two. And charged full price even after she said she would give me a discount because she is getting out of Bear X brand. Bow I need to wait for a chance when I actually have some time on my hands... And maybe get a hold of a range finder.
I would agree, studying vitals and knowing deer anatomy plays a major role in effective shot placement this was my first season with a crossbow and I got a doe at 20 yards perfect beards shot thru and thru tan about 15-20 yards and dropped, to my suprise not much blood loss lol but she ain’t run far
I feel crossbows are the squatted trucks of hunting.. but only if you are capable of shooting a bow.. If it's due to age or health then by all means I totally agree with them. But if you can draw a bow back then........... Eehhhh come on
I've been trying to teach myself how to use a crossbow and hunt with it. Me and my friend are going to just leave life, leaving all electronics behind and we'll just start walking off to North Carolina, After that we're just gonna head West. So, knowing how to hunt with a crossbow will be very important if we want to be able to eat.
Do not worry about shot placement yet! First you have to FIND the Deer 🦌! Next you need LEGAL access to the Deer! Remember there are ZERO Deer where you can Legally hunt them and there are OCEANS of Deer where it is illegal for you to hunt! Enjoy!
Here’s a tip to anyone new to crossbow hunting: unless you are physically, handicapped or old as hell, go be a man and practice all summer with a regular bow.
Recurve I’m assuming? That’s a “regular” bow. You’re not one of those compound guys with a 90% letoff compound, carbon fiber adjustable sights, front and rear stabilizers, trigger releases and think you’re holier than though shooting a technologically advanced piece of engineering and calling it “bow hunting” Oh wait, that’s how all broken down compound guys are. Carry on.
@justinadams I’m sure most reasonable people wont take the advice of someone trying to measure their manhood by such things. Take some responsible advice, go back to school.
Soooo pretty much the exact same as when you use a gun. Who would have thought to aim for lungs and heart? Glad I saw this before I went hunting I might have aimed at the back leg or something.
Compound bow hunting isnt bow hunting, if you arent using a recurve or a traditional long bow then you cant argue otherwise, i say this because of all the updated tech and cams in them
BULLETS CAN KILL BY HEMORRHAGING TOO BUD!! WHEN A DEER GOES 100 OR 200 YDS AND THEN DROPS DEAD WHAT IS THAT AFTERSHOCK OR HEMORRHAGING? TELL THE COMPLETE TRUTH WILL YAH.

I was looking a few inches lower good to know I am within the ball park
2 inches higher or 2 inches lower still would have been a dead deer.

Thanks for all your great tips Daniel!!
Thank you! We appreciate your support!
Anyone hating on crossbow hunting shoots 75 inch deer every year
And any able bodied person using a crossbow has a matching purse.

Wise words
Crossbows blow right threw thier shoulders just like a gun!
Less meat damage too
Nice
Fair enough.
Welcome to Cabelas Big Game Hunter❤

Crossbow hunting is not bow hunting
Traditional archers say the same thing about those who need training wheels are theirs.
Lmfao you compound nerds are so bitchmade. Compounds are vertical crossbows.
And crossbow hunting is way different from bow hunting to
Here's a thought, stop promoting a "gun" that shoots "arrows" for archery season
A gun uses black powder to propel a projectile. Its not a gun. Thats like saying a catapult is a cannon 😂
Quit wounding deer

The butthole is a deers kryptonite.
Some people have just started. Where are all your videos at. Jacka$$
It blows my mind that those things are allowed during archery season
“Crossbow hunting is bow hunting” - No.
Regulations in many states say otherwise.

Nah u only a real bowhunter if you hunting with a compound
