[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2674190, member: 105681"] We got a Ravin for my father in law who is in his last months of a long battle with cancer. Some states allow a hunter to hunt archery with a crossbow if they show a valid medical condition. He was too sick to put it together so I muddled through the instructions, some YouTube and sighted it in. By my 7th arrow I was hitting an orange size bullseye at 100 yds. That's as far as the slider tape went for the scope turret adjustment. I had never shot a crossbow before. I was very impressed to say the least. This past deer season I acquired permission to hunt some private property local to my house. A short 15 minute drive and I had a 20 acre ag field that deer were passing through with a constant regularity. The owners only requirement was it had to he hunted with archery equipment only. I took a nice 4x4 with my Mathews bow on the 3rd weekend and my tag was punched. The last weekend of rifle season my wife had not hunted yet so I said grab your Dad's crossbow and let go to the archery field. She was skeptical because she had never fired a crossbow in her life. I set up my block and we took 3 practice shots at 30, 50 and 60 yards. She hit bullseye on every shot. Just before last shooting light a forked horn came into the field. He meandered slowly into 103 yards. I said well it's now or never, shoot. We adjusted the turret tape to 100 yds and she held just under his spine. Off shooting sticks she squeezed off the shot.
