Crossbow Hunting – Learning from Experience

Who is the wiser hunter? When you are out in the field, your skills will likely improve if you pay attention to the older, wiser hunter as shown in this photo.The keyword is “wiser.”Dumb folks won’t teach you much and can be dangerous especially around things that shoot bullets or arrows. Here are four items […]

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. When we first met Patrick Elswick, he simply said “I found about Kodabow, had a chance to shoot your crossbow, and I want to hunt with Kodabow.” He could have picked a number of different crossbow companies.

A Kodabow crossbow is all about casting an arrow (or bolt for those who prefer) downrange accurately. At the moment the crossbow trigger releases the string catch, the high speed forces of stored kinetic energy are transferred from the limbs and string to the arrow and the whole shooting process shifts to being all about […]

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 […]
