Peplin Creek
5 year old buck +
Been toying with the idea to switch to a crossbow for awhile. I’ve shot most of my bucks with a vertical bow and thought I’m still young enough to keep on doing it that way but hunting in wisconsin can sometimes have its challenges.
This year I did a full day sit in November that was so cold, had a shooter actually walked by, I’m not even sure I would have been able to pull my bow back. I was miserable. That was the final nail in the coffin. I plan to make comfort more of a priority moving forward, comfy double stands, box blinds, etc.
I have a few friends who have given me a lot of flack over making the switch but I keep telling them once the bucks on the wall… it’s on the wall.
Here it is my First Crossbow. Hopefully it’ll bring me as much joy as Mathews Halon 6 did. Can’t wait for spring to start breaking it in.
