Our crossbow deer season now runs from September 21 to January 20. That's 1/3 of the year, a pretty long time. I've been wanting to get into crossbows for awhile now, and I really wanted a recurve with a rifle type stock. I found the Barnett XR250C for about $160.00 delivered and so I ordered one. Looks like a number of brands sell this particular crossbow and it has good reviews. Most of them mention that the included bolts are not so good, no surprise there. They also mention that the included red dot sight holds zero surprisingly well.
So, what sort of bolts should I get for it? A rope cocker and basic quiver are also included. Anything else that a crossbow rookie should get for it? I'll probably put a decent crossbow scope or sights on it at some point, if the factory red dot holds zero it should do for now.
