And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
This should penetrate body armor. The crossbow of 600 years ago could penetrate the armor of that time. So could the longbow. What was once old is new. Truly, "there is nothing new under the sun."
Still, I would not venture forth with this unless I had a pistol at my side.
I have one, and it is. All modern crossbows have scopes as it seems there is no way to affix hard sights to it. I'd like to have Magpul flip-ups on mine. One of these days I'll figure out how to do it.
Silent but deadly applies to more than beer farts
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of maintenance on that type. I still like it though.

For as far as it shoots, I removed the scope on mine to reduce "fluff."

ReplyDelete"No way"...???
DeleteThat's a Picatinny rail.
You can attach any-damned-thing you want to one of those.
BONUS POINTS: No ammo shortage.
No tax stamp required for the suppressor you don't need.
I have an older TenPoint Excalibur. Very nice bow.
