  1. i seen this on another site i dont want this to be a p---ing contest just a question ive been told illinois has a perposel in the house to allow crossbows in bow season for everyone i dont have a problem with this it will bring alot of hunters int the game the young ,older, disable,and inexperienced i know its a big insue in other states also i feel xbows are archery gear no mater if they are pre c--ed im not going to argue with anyone on this i feel if its made leagle by the state then use whatever weapon you wish just my 2 cents just asking for your thoughts if this gets out of hand i hope the mods. will delete this post befor name calling and personal attacks start just hope everyone thats replys acts like adults thanks fot your oppions

  21. i have shot right handed guns left handed sence i was a kid the shell will eject right past his eye i have never been hit except for an m-16 when i was in the army the pump guns seem to be better for left handed shooters then autos it would be better to get a left handed gun but you can shoot a right handed gun safely if it was me i would try a pump or a single shot jmo
  22. i think you made the right choice you got a 2nd gun for the price of the barrel for the 835 i have one 835 and 2 500 both are good guns good deal
  23. Re: I figured out why some complain about... slugshooter you may be suprised of the amount of recoil that nova will have with a rifeled sluc barrel my stepdad has one i sited in last yr for hem the nova is so lite weight the recoil isunbeliveable compared to my 870 with a 21in. smootrh barrel
