My father who is 67 has only ever hunted with a rifle over the years since he was a lightie in Rhodesia.He now has his first kill using an arrow.My daughter who is 11 also got her first arrow kill.
The X-bow is a Stryker 380.
Dad's hartebeest was shot at 25m and my daughters impala at around 20m.Both one shot kills.
I am proud of both of them.

Congrats to both of them.
I have been contemplating getting a X-bow, but my bow hunting buddies are giving me lotsa grief. It also seems that a lot of bow hunting farms dont allow X-bows either?MOLON LABE

It's going to be good eating - the carcass is bled out appropriately.

Het heel wat wild af gehaal die jaar met n Tenpiont 185LB ons kliente was heel tevrede met die kruisboog en nie met hul gewere geskiet nie en vir die meeste jagters was dit n eerste.

Re: Cross bow first time around
I don't want to be an ass, but a crossbow fires a bolt, not an arrow! :P (IIRC)
Anyway, congrats to both. I've always been fascinated by crossbows, and always wanted to buy one, but then I end up with something for my guns instead!
Your father looks incredibly familiar, strangely enough.
