New York Hillbilly

Lucky for me then I have only had it 2 days, and never opened the box. My plan was to put it together tomorrow night when I get back to my house (I work out of town), and then shoot and sight it in downstairs at my house. When we built our house 30 years ago I made sure it could accommodate a full 20 year indoor bow range. Thanks for the info. It is what I read too, but being brand new to this all I guess I didn't fully understand where things are actually measured even after reading it. I'm surprised they bother selling a crossbow that does not meet the requirements, and even more surprised and confused over such a goofy rule to begin with. What the hell difference does it even make if it is 15.75 or 17 other than some arbitrary number some politician pulled out of their ear (or more likely their lower orifice)? Now I need to look and see what is out there that actually meets the limitations. Any hoot, thanks again for the insights! Happy hunting!

I'll check into it closer then, and if it does not meet the 'hunting" requirement it goes back tomorrow. I have no reason to own a crossbow I cannot hunt with. lol Maybe the guy did not know what he was talking about. But, because I read somewhere on this site at one point where someone said to not confuse the actual width measurement versus axel to axel measurement, is why I thought they guy made sense when he explained it to me. I saw the 17inch thing on the DEC site and will go back and look again. If this has been addressed on here in another thread can you please clue me in where? Thank you!

@Biz. . Good question and was one of mine. They told me at the store that it measure 17" plus a little, with the axel to axel width being 15.75 inches. I have not opened the box yet but will check myself. Seems reasonable to me though. My real questions have to do with reliability and overall quality/function issues.

Quick question for all you crossbow hunters.. Any experience with the CP 425 Patriot? Thanks in advance.

The obvious answer is : the first one likely sitting some place trying to "cook" up something else to rationalize his hatred for Trump, and the second one is as the name clearly states...out in "Left Field"!

I'm with you guys! Rain, water, flooding, wet basements, sump pumps, etc.....sucks!!!

Biz? Are you being serious? This house on 4 acres for 400k?

As a doctor of nursing, nurse for over 30 years, I find this statement highly offensive. So help me out with this one. When I took exception to you referring to my professional colleagues, nurses who had only recently been celebrated as "heroes" during this battle on Covid , as nothing more than strippers and/or street walkers; in other words shared my "opinion" and said I was offended, you openly dismissed it and me. Remember? You showing a "lack of understanding" and making it clear my opinion on the subject does not matter, by your now stated standards, which does that make you? An ignorant fool and/or idiot? Double standards? Perhaps you can knock off the rudeness and name calling on this site. I continue to think people should be able to disagree without resorting to such behaviors. Happy hunting!

Congrats! What a precious little baby! : )

Rest assured, we will be soon at this pace!

As the country is being destroyed in front of our eyes, the same people continue to spew what looks to me to be a twisted hatred for one person, the "Orangeman", Trump. Before it was to destroy him and his supporters at all cost. Now, while this seems to persist, it also appears to be to try and justify either to themselves, or others, the preference to watch this country collapse than have this man in office. I don't care anything about political party. I just wish I could understand how any average citizen in this country can be driven to such a personal level of hate that it would exceed their love of country. Would someone on this site who hates this man so badly please share why, or what he did to you personally to allow yourself to be so consumed, so I can try and understand.

Don't sweat this guy. It's just one more personal attack by him. It has been an ongoing pattern with a few here that pull this shit! I doubt any are actually doctors or medical experts, but they like to play it on this site as if they are.

It's as I have been saying from day one of this nightmare. Do not forget which of your fellow board members here allowed their irrational hatred help get us into this nightmare. And, do not let them forget either!

Holy shit...Hell must have froze over! You finally saw the light, shared the epiphany publicly, and we now agree on something. Welcome to the right way of thinking, and hats off to you for a great campaign slogan!

I'll extend the same message. Have fun in Alaska! I hope to return to my home there sometime soon.

Again, here we go with the name calling! Typical from you I must say. I had a teacher once tell me the only stupid question is the one that does not get asked. With this pandemic or any other for that mater, it is important to know the sources so you know how to respond appropriately. Asking if the influx of people into this country is adding to the problem is smart, not an attack against them personally. But again, with your demonstrated history of thinking and mouthy comments I would have expected nothing less. You may think me an idiot as you say, and you are entitled to your opinion. You on the other hand are in my opinion a bully and I have no idea how you have not gotten the boot from this site long ago. And for the record; this "idiot" is medical professional who has been on the front line from the start of this all.

With the recent flood of people crossing the border, then being bussed throughout out the country, I think it is a legitimate and important question to be asking. Again, with the fear of Covid being espoused by the current administration, wouldn't to knowingly then allow, or rather encourage a source of Covid to enter the United States be an assault against our country? For those who express serious concern for their children's safety, are you not pissed that your children may well be being deliberately placed in harms way?

Mast or no mask aside. China unleashed this shit on the world and look at the destruction it caused. Now with Biden and his crew allowing hundreds of thousands to flood across the border, many reportedly Covid positive and being actively scattered throughout America, how is this any different than what China did? Knowing how badly our country and its citizens have suffered from this pandemic, how is our "leadership" deliberately allowing Covid infected people from other countries to enter and spread this virus seen as anything short of repeated recklessness and/or aggression against America and its people? I don't give a damn who you voted for or what party you belong to, all should be outraged over this! Those who are not outraged are either so blindly, pathologically loyal to a party that they put party over their own family's well being, or have their heads so far up their ass they refuse or just can't see the light!

620,000 dead Americans from Covid 19. Dead is dead! Those who suffered slow, painful, frightening, lonely Covid 19 deaths, as well as the health care workers caring for them, and those showing up every day to keep the health care system going since day one of this pandemic can tell you this is a war. I believe China has corrupted and owns our politicians of both parties and our system as whole, including the media. The sooner people wake up and realize it's not just a "Democrat thing" the sooner they can come together as one to try and save our country.

Appears to be one of the few times I disagree with something you said. China IS currently at war with us, and winning!

Happy Birthday!

One, in the same!

I think there are a couple reasons actually. Neither good!

Lights on...but nobody home!
