Years ago I go on this forum and asked advice about a crossbow and was pointed towards a wicked ridge crossbow that was amazing. I hunted with it one season, missed the next season, and sold it the following year because need formula and diaper money. I don't remember the model I had but looking at what's out there it seems like it'd either be the ranger or the invader.
The thing I loved about the old one was that it had a low fixed power scope with BDC that was dead on accurate at every distance. In addition to that, it would shoot nearly into the same bolt if I shot at the same spot. Honestly, that's all I need. I don't need fancy gizmo's I'm a big guy so I don't really even care about any aides in cocking the bow. What I really do need is guidance on where I can get my hands on one before season and how to package it all together. Most of what I've seen has been packages of crossbows & bolts, but I know there's some trick to getting the right broadhead weights that I don't remember.
Any advice on this would be incredibly awesome and I'd be forever grateful. I've got trail camera pictures of an absolute hog so this has got to happen, even if it means I go grab something from budk, I'm getting a crossbow.
