Crossbow Newbie

[jon lynn]

I just got a crossbow from a yard sale for $10. Took it to a local shop, the man said it has well over 100LB pull. Got a 3-DOT sight for another $10. from a gunsmith who didn't pay attention when he ordered it, and he owed me a favor.

My private doctor, and my VA provider (doctor) have issued me the certificate I need to use the crossbow.

Here is the down side. I KNOW NOTHING about CROSSBOWS or bow hunting. I have until October 1st to learn as much as I can.

I know for operations, rifle knowledge is useless, I can apply the safety aspects.


What kind of bolts, arrow heads, and everything else for whitetails.

Do I put a sling on it?
