{"title":"Bows \u0026 Crossbows","description":"\u003cp\u003eA crossbow or compound bow gets you into the woods early and lets you hunt closer than a rifle. This collection covers hunting crossbows from Ravin, compound bows, crossbow scopes, broadheads, and the accessories that go with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Choose a Bow or Crossbow\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCrossbow or compound bow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crossbow is cocked ahead of time, so there is no draw movement when the deer steps out, and most shooters get accurate quickly. A compound bow is lighter, quieter to shoulder, and rewards practice. Both are effective for whitetails and hogs at sensible distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize and handling in a blind\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrossbow width and length matter inside a box or ground blind. Narrow, compact models like those from Ravin are easier to maneuver through windows and around tight brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCocking method\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRope cockers are simple and light. Crank cockers take less effort and make it easier to de-cock. Think about cocking on a cold morning or after a long walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCrossbow scope\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA multi-reticle or speed-adjustable crossbow scope lets you hold dead-on at known distances. Pair it with a rangefinder, since yardage errors cause most misses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBroadheads for deer and hogs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHogs have tough shoulder plates and heavy bone. Fixed-blade broadheads are durable; mechanical broadheads cut wide but need enough energy to open. Practice with the broadheads you will hunt with, as they can fly differently from field points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eArrow and bolt weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeavier arrows and bolts carry more momentum for penetration on big hogs. Always use the arrow or bolt length and weight the manufacturer specifies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan you use a crossbow during archery season in Texas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrossbow rules can vary by season and situation. Check current Texas Parks and Wildlife Department regulations before you hunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far can you shoot a deer with a crossbow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEthical range depends on your gear and skill. Many hunters keep shots within about 40 yards and only shoot farther with plenty of practice at that distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat broadhead is best for hogs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany hunters choose a strong fixed-blade or a durable mechanical with a solid tip. Shot placement behind the shoulder matters more than the head itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ravin-r10x-crossbow-xk7-camo","title":"Ravin R10X Crossbow - XK7 Camo","description":"\u003cp\u003eSerious crossbow performance for whitetail, hogs and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e420 fps with 400-grain arrow; 156 ft-lbs kinetic energy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully integrated silent cocking system, 12 lb draw force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33 in long; 6.8 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad-limb composite limbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100-yard illuminated crossbow scope with Speed Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmbidextrous stock with adjustable cheek pad and buttstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coming soon to BoxedBuck.
