[QUOTE="Glass, post: 199525, member: 4800"] Thats too bad Huntin, it is my dream to be able to use my vertical bow again, time will tell. I talked to Ravin rep a week or so ago, hell of a nice guy, but he said I had to use their arrows. He didnt tell me about it voiding their warranty to use others, simply said you couldnt. I have taken deer with my vertical out to 65 yards with no issues. I am not sure I would take deer that far with a crossbow yet or not, it would all depend on practice, confidence, and everything coming together in the field. I would like to target shoot out to 100 yards, just for the fun of it. Thanks for the info on the arrows, all info on these things is appreciated. This whole new world is a little overwhelming to me. How often do you end up changing strings on these things? I have heard anywhere from every 200 shots to every 4 or 5 years. How hard is using a cocking rope on those cam and Excalibur bows if a guy is short and has 2 bad shoulders? I am 5 3 and fear that while cocking the bow I might run out of power. That is another reason I was looking at one with built in cocker/de-cocker [/QUOTE]
