Kodabow Crossbow Review on a Bear Hunt
A gentleman and writer named Daniel James Hendricks recently went on a Bear hunting trip and wrote a nice review of our product. He successfully took a Black Bear but equally important (at least to us folks at Kodabow) is that this man really “got it” when it came to understanding the Kodabow crossbow. You […]
Crossbow Hunting with Confidence and a Kodabow
There is nothing more important than confidence in the field.

How far can I shoot ?
We often get asked the question regarding “how far can I shoot?” A gentleman said that he had been chasing a big buck in the last year and he could get no closer than 60 yards. No closer ….it was always 60 yards. He asked if our bow could help him. He was currently shooting […]
