anybody have any experience with hickory creek crossbows

I'll have mine next week

Yes. I know the whole company . I was sponsored by them on 2 TV shows, and I also filmed for and with Jerry Goff, the ex pro boxer and prodcuer and host of Knockout Hunting TV show that used to run all the time.

I actually had a sort of prototype of it, but without the extension and handle. It was the 95# one. Very short axle to axle. You had to use your foot to cock it. It was very accurate though..and fast.

Jerry is big on wounded vets, and we used to film parylyzed vets etc. Some real american heros, who lost limbs or were parylyzed fighting for our country.

They all still just wanted to hunt, and he was ALL about that. All his stuff is designed to help people who love to hunt with a bow...to still be able to.

Thats why I helped Jerry a lot. And hes a great guy. Let me tell you..it is tough work but rewarding.

I had to film some guys who were parylyzed just below the sternum and in just regular wheel chairs. Id have to get them out to blinds, then their gear,..then my camera and gear...but the best hunts Ive ever done.
Very rewarding and worth all the work. And I met some good friends doing it. One I still take out 1 -2 times a year on my own property.

Makes you realize the sacrifice so many make..only to come home and noone wants to take them. All their old friends dont even bother.

I liked taking them. And they are stone cold killers when they get out there. I filmed Jesse Greer a hero from the vietnam war from Fort Payne Alabama, on three hunts.
He killed every time too.

Jesse was a heck of an archer with the hickory creek drawloc on his bow. I also hunted with him in Fort Payne at his place and stayed there taking him out to his blinds.
May he RIP.

well i hope you like it as much as i like mine its deadly accurate and so far i have found no problems zero in first six shots and using the first mil in the scope all the way to 35 yards before having to change aiming point ! i love the thing

well i hope you like it as much as i do . it zerod with six shots at about 15 yards and is flat from 10 to 35 with the arrows that came with it i went on and ordered 6 arrows I've shot it maybe 40 times and i would be confident to take it up a tree tomorrow . actually wish i could LOL 33 days and counting!

watched the video on it.I cant see any advantage of it.Not a big fan of the string laying vertical like that.I can see someone losing a finger or something like a branch getting hung in there not paying attention.I like to keep mine flat accross the rail and left hand under the strings.

its just super light and the bull pup trigger /release design allows me to shoot 23 inch arrows 400 gr at 315 fps from a crossbow that weighs less than 7 lbs can be cocked and uncocked by hand and fired one handed if needed with 4 inch groups at 40 yards

Mine weighs less than 7 lbs and shoots 22 inch arrows at over 400fps and has an A2A width less than 12 inches cocked.and i dont have to stand up to shoot it.,No need to reinvent the wheel.i just cant see any practical reason for this other than maybe cool factor.No advantages i can see.I dont see you laying this across the rail on a lock on and letting one go without the thought of it hanging up on something.
Also the stock or whatever it is looks really flimsy and mickeymouse.almost looks like a big model airplane.

I dont see the point of a crossbow unless you are physically unable to shoot a real vertical bow. If you are able bodied? Well then you're just lazy

Only real hunters use compound bows.all the rifle, muzzleloader,and spear chuckers are just lazy....

Pretty much

If you want to be a "real" hunter then use wooden arrows, stone tips and a self bow instead of a compound with training wheels, carbon limbs, tiny arrows with expandable blades and speeds of 340fps while looking through fiber optic sights with a stabilizer and trigger release.

Otherwise you're just lazy, too.

pretty much sums it up....I mean why not just hang up the bows and resort to poison darts and spears.....

I am pretty lazy. I just like picking at tatsoul he gets riled up about that crossbow

A crossbow is just one step easier. It is like a rifle, sight it in, and pick it up off the rack when you're ready to go hunt. With some of the modern technology, crossbows can be accurate out to extreme ranges. I have a friend that hunts wheeler, who uses a verticle bow til gun season opens, then switches to a crossbow he has. It has an AR lower on it, and a meopta meopro on top, with bdc. He can stack arrows together at 100yds.

I'm all for able bodied people using one. I just think it should not coincide with the entire lenght of archery season.

Out law everything.....Government issued atlatls for everyone !!

Show me a crossbow that shoots a "22 inch arrows" they are called bolts and your lying about the 400fps, chrono that shucks and post it up.

Actually, today's crossbow arrows are called arrows according to the industry standard. Bolts were used in the Middle Ages.

Interestingly enough, crossbows were called an "arbalest" in the Middle Ages.
