Where do you get those screw on broadheads or any heads for the mini crossbow? My bolts break after one shot when it goes deep in to for example wood and the tip gets stuck inside cuz its not screw on so I'm just left with the plastic tube. I have a crossbow for 6,5 inch bolts.

@TheWaterSwatters I was just curious. I suppose the quicker the better. Ethically speaking. Great videos though.
Did they happen to give you a time line on those 150lb limbs for the crossbow? In my state it needs to be above 125lb draw weight and has been the main reason I haven't picked up the non reverse limb mini crossbow. Those reverse limbs look wicked though I won't lie lol.

Good Afternoon, I just got myself a reverse limb bow and it was all due to your videos. I also live in Oklahoma and just wondering how big of a hog do you think these will kill ethically? I have a few 350 pound hogs coming to my feeders.
@TheWaterSwatters
11 ай бұрын
Dang 350 is big. With a good, sharp, cut on contact broadhead it should get the job done! I've only shot one hog with the reverse, my shot was a little back and I didn't find him. Shot another one with the Vlad. That bow only had 90lb limbs and it shot all the way through a hog so I'm sure with a well placed shot the Striker Rev will put'em down.
Nice 🤙

Dust them with a little flour and salt & pepper then fry them in a cast iron skillet with a light coating of a little peanut oil and they are really good. If you want to save the drippings and make gravy for your mashed potatoes you simply add more flour and milk to the drippings and make gravy. Been doing both for over 40 years and one of my buddy's Grandma taught us how when we were kids. You make biscuits and gravy nearly the same way without the peanut oil. One roll Bob Evans Original sausage. Pillsbury Grand Buttery Flaky Layers biscuits! The BEST biscuits and gravy you ever tasted. 👍

So what did the poor squirrels do to you? Why are you killing them?
@jsb1100

You can literally get the answer yourself if you did a Google search. Squirrels are considered pests when they enter homes and buildings to nest; when they raid birdfeeders; when they feed on gardens, trees and landscape plantings; and when they dig holes in gardens and lawns to bury and retrieve food. If you ever had a home of your own that you yourself were the only one to take care of you would better understand it but I'm sure you have people doing that for you.
