    Barnett recruit cross bow

    Hi all
    I just got a cross bow and want to try hunt with it. I cant pull a compound bow with my bad shoulder so i have no choice but to use a cross bow.
    I realize it is a small one but its what i got, does any have any advice?
    i will practice in my back yard till next fall before i attempt to hunt with it..
    Question, Is this a powerful enough one for elk?

    Cool Re: Barnett recruit cross bow

    Put your practice in, get seriously good arrows and broadheads, and consider replacing the red dot with a real crossbow scope.
    You can expect it to perform reasonably well.

    Amazon offers both pro and con comment sections for this bow.
    Always worth a review:

    And Survival Life did a review that was largely favorable a spell back now:
