Wow. So since I never had the experience of using a bow before, I'm disabled. How about you stop being an a-hole and GFY.

It's a running joke on the OB, sorry you got so offended.

Definitely need a cocking rope if you don't have one. Any outdoor supply store that carries crossbows should have them.

Awesome thanks. I had such a hard time cocking it on the ground, I just don't know how comfortable I would be from a tree stand. I got a year of practice coming with it so I can be ready for next season.

Also, sorry I didn't know it was a running joke about wheelchairs and bows. I didn't mean to overreact..

It used to be that only people with disabilities could use crossbows in LA. But the law was changed a few years ago to allow everyone to use them. So the people joking with you are referring to that. Have fun pulling the bolts out of targets.

Meth use? Does it improve my accuracy? I live in livingston so it shouldn't be hard to get some.

Douche. Older gents may need a crossbow too. Just want to say you're a douche again, douche.

Just stick the butt in your gut and pull. If you need to adrenaline will let you. Enjoy your first step into archery. After a year or two you will be wanting a compound.

Y'all are a tough crowd today. Take a chill pill (what us old fellas used to say when we were young and spry whipper-snappers like yourselves, Google it). All the family time the last week must have everyone on edge.

Not OP, sold my crossbow a couple years ago. Actually looking to get into shooting a recurve bow more for fun/target practice.

I hear their annual Meth Festival rivals that of the Duck Festival in Gueydan and the Forestry Festival of Vernon Parish combined.
