I know they will sell plenty of them, but with prices starting @ $3,050 and running up to $3,750 I think that's absolutely nuts to pay that for a crossbow.

The most telling post (to me) on that site is..
“Speed freaks and techies rejoice! When does the roll back on inclusion commence?”
From being in the trenches in the crossbow inclusion wars I recognize this post. It’s been tough to get inclusion and now there will be some people or groups campaigning to roll back a lot of hunting for a lot of folks. That will be attempted even though very few of these $3500 crossbows will ever see a deer woods.

I think best thing 10 pt did was come out with that 399 bow. The working mans bow.

Was about to say parrot, it’s here. Also can’t believe that thing is like 3.6” wide when cocked. That’s just insane. At some point I’d think the pressure has got to be too much.

Did you read about the diff models. One u push a button to cock and uncock electric basically I would imagine an acme threaded rod carrying the cocker and decocker. Yep, but they use 2 threaded rods: |

My 45ACP target loads are around 700fps. That is smoking!

My 45ACP target loads are around 700fps. That is smoking! IIRC they said 400 grain bolts. |

I thought the same thing in 2017 when Illinois went to inclusion. Then I stopped by at Bass Pro Gurnee and watched the new $2,300 Ravins flying off the shelves faster than they could stock them. The salesman confirmed this. There was a guy wheeling in a full cart load while I was there. I don't shoot them, but this was just my independent observation. Granted, this was in the first year and no doubt many wanted in on the previously protected deer archery season. |
