Crossbow/bow gurus

Post by Toecutter1978 » Sat Sep 13, 2014 12:08 pm

OK so I picked up that Horton Yukon SL crossbow from Seymour and now I need to make sure its good to go before I let the boys shoot it. Does anybody know how to disassemble, restring and whatever else you need to do with a crossbow to keep them in function form? I can not find an owners manual on the net for it. If not, any local bow shops that give free advice?

Kings Archery on Bardstown Road would be my choice. Not sure if it would be free though. Very knowledgeable !

Headed out to Kings and they were nice to go through the Xbow and tighten it up. Then the little one and I went over to Tom Swayer and spent some quality time together on the range.

Best place for bolts right now is Walmart. They have 20" and 22" for about $3 to $5 a bolt.

Cool! Thanks. I don't know how many we can buy. I bought 4 at Kings today.
