is this worth it for deer and hog hunting ? if so what arrow and broadheads you recommend

Any version of this bow 40 lbs or over will have no problem killing a deer or hog. As far as broadheads go I would go for some mechanical broadheads because they won't pull the arrow as much during flight due to wind resistance. Arrows you'll just have to experiment with to find the ones that shoot better for you. This isn't a true traditional recurve, and does require an arrow rest to be able to shoot off of.

I used this Toxic twice on my new crossbow (a light duty 300fps 140 lb draw). The first shot killed a medium size feral hog that only got 20 yards and the second shot killed an 8 point whitetail buck. In both cases the bolt went all the way through leaving a quarter-dollar size hole and shredding the lungs. With the deer it flew another 25 yards. I wouldn't even consider using any other kind of broadhead.

I would not recommend it. Bear bow hunting is dangerous with any crossbow. It you just make the bear angry, it can get to faster than you can re-cock. Having a hunting partner with a large caliber rifle is always advisable even if you have a $2,000 crossbow.

Greetings Fellow Bowhunter, I have shot broadheads into the Field Logic Shooter Buck with some success. As with any 3D target of this type it will shorten the life of the vital zone. I wouldn't recommend shooting broadheads frequently but having said that we all know how important it is to shoot your hunting arrows to insure accuracy. If you shoot your broadheads only occasionally into this target I think you will find that it will last a long time. The good news is that the replacement vital is reasonably priced and readily available. Good Luck Hunting!

I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle. As long as you are not shooting from too far a distance, and your shot placement is good, you should have no problems taking down a ground hog. I shoot mine without the scope, as I was unable to get the scope to stay zeroed. You might also want to consider a .22 air rifle instead of a .177. Although you will not get the same fps, you will get better knock down power. Some of the newer .22 air rifles have a pretty respectable fps rating, if you are willing to spend a little more. I also recommend the Gamo Rocket pellets. I have experienced better accuracy and penetration with these pellets. Happy hunting! I have taken rabbits and skunks with this rifle.

Well Pat, I'm a novice whn it comes to bow hunting, last month I harvest my first doe with the Inferno crossbow at 20 yards n 2 wild pigs. For the money it was a great deal and experience for myself. He should have fun with it. Good luck

I really don't know if these heads can be used with a crossbow as I've never tried them with one. I will say they are best broadheads I've ever shot, there tough as nails, fly like fieldtips, and do massive damage on a game animal. The bloodtrails were short but very heavy, deer bleed out quickly making for easy recovery.

Just to confirm all the other answers this is an outstanding broadhead. I shoot a Excalibur 355 Matrix crossbow. I took my first deer this year with this broadhead. My bolt was deflected by brush and hit a little farther back then I wanted. Although the broadhead was destroyed it broke the biggest bone in the deers body and caused massive fatal damage inside. On a side note I did some research and this type of broadhead is also popular with turkey hunters as well.

Don't know about a crossbow as I only use a compound bow, but they are effective on turkey and deer. If you are really serious about turkeys you might want to consider one of those super wide broadheads designed for a neck shot.

Yes. I use to own a archery shop so i ve tested many broadheads this is the best operating heads i ve seen simple and strong. I only shoot around 60# never any issue I drop one straight down out of my stand once deployed in the ground

If you ordered these on Oct. 1st, you probably are still waiting so I'll answer you. I use Muzzy broadheads so in comparison these are huge!! They are three bladed and from the heel of one blade to the other they measure 1 1/16. From the tip of the arrow to the very front of the point they measure 2 1/4 They seem to fly "OK" for $10 I guess. They have the bone crusher type points on them. I'm a bit leary to hunt with something new since every ethical hunter wants a clean & fast kill...

I used SA Sports Ambush Crossbow 150lb draw. I am a novice hunter. These arrows did the job for me. They survived over a dozen shots target/sighting in and even the 6-7'' pine tree trunk that it hit after passing through my first deer ever last month.

Joe, Yes it does include all of those items, but no broadheads, just target tips. I sent mine back because the one that you get is not at all like the one pictured. Cams are much smaller and the strings end at the cams instead of at the arms, like the picture shows. I found out from a local dealer that the Fury is a much better bow. I found one at this site for $599 just a minute ago, but not a package. It does come with the cocking sled, but no scope or bolts. http://www.amerioutdoors.com/Horton-cb870.htm?feed=Froogle Scott

Dom,You are buying the quiver not the arrows. The arrows are as long as the ones you will have to put in the quiver. I would recommend this quiver. If you dont like a bow mounted quiver or a back mounted quiver with broadheads this hip quiver is great. I have taken it hunting a couple of times and they are really good.

No but definitely worth it.i recommend gamo raptors extremely accurate and hard hitting. Crow magnums r the best for hunting. I hope this helps

Yes, I used these broad heads on my crossbow. After watching someone demonstrate them on a YouTube video I harvest 2 deer with them.

There are a couple of deciding factors how fast your crossbow shoots and what your recommended weight of your arrows..... if you have a 15 grain per inch arrow at 20 inches long then u have a 300 grain arrow and it will be 400 with a 100 gr broadhead or 425 with a 125 gr broadhead generally a lighter broadhead shoots faster and a heavier broadhead has better penatration hope this helps u
