In PA you can hunt with a crossbow if you receive a special permit from the PA Game Commission. So, instead of giving up a sport that I love I decided to get the special permit. I just got back from purchasing a Ten Point Titan TL-7 crossbow. I looked at and shot several different crossbows and this one was the one I liked the most. My question is this, for those of you who hunt deer with a crossbow. Is there anything I should watch out for when shooting at deer other than the normal issues for a compound. I have taken more than my fair share of deer with a compound and recurve bows so I am aware of string jump and all that jazz. What I am looking for are things such as..What type of broad heads do you use. (I have always used Wasp or Muzzy, bad to the bone
)Do you use Three or four blade? (I have always used three)
Fixed or expanding blade? (I have always used fixed. I just never trusted the expanding blade design)
What grain broad heads? (I have always used 100 grain)
I think that should give you the idea of what I am looking for.. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
I would like to say that I was surprised by the accuracy of the crossbow. At 30 yards, shooting free hand, I put every shot in the boiler room on a full size deer target. They are also very fast although I can't imagine they have the same kinetic energy that a larger arrow would have.
