Book in for a crossbow lesson & discover how powerful & accurate crossbows are! Once you know the basics of modern crossbow shooting & all the safety routine you could be hitting the targets with surprising accuracy. It won't surprise you to learn that crossbows come in all weights & sizes. & whilst they might look pretty big & bulky you certainly don't need bulging biceps to be able to fire one. In fact the way you shoot a crossbow means it's easier than using a traditional bow & arrow. Here's why... A crossbow consists of the bow which is mounted to the main body. At the front there is a stirrup which you put you foot in to steady the crossbow when you are cocking it ready to the load the arrow or bolt. & this is where as you'll discover on your lesson the crossbow is different to the usual archery bow. You pull the string of the bow back & the lock holds the stringed in its cocked position. You then have your hands free to load the arrow into place. Firing the crossbow is more akin to a rifle than an archery bow as you have a stock a grip & trigger. & this is what makes crossbow shooting more accurate. You're not trying to hold on to the pulled back string with the arrow whilst you take aim. It's all held in place with the crossbow's bolt catcher so you can take your time to line up your shot using the front & main sights. & as for being more powerful that's down to the fact that the bow's string has a higher resistance
- & that means your arrow will fly further & with more force. Exciting stuff then learning how to cock load & fire a crossbow. Once you've mastered the basics on this lesson you'll move on to more challenging shooting games. You might be drawn on for a round of ' Killer' ' Shoot the Stag' or ' Destroy the Zombies'. Of course nothing living or breathing will be harmed during the course of your crossbow shooting session but it will be a whole load of fun. There's just time at the end of your one-hour crossbow lesson to determine the king of the crossbow with a ' Who can beat the Zombies' finale. You'll need to keep your wits about you as it's 'full head shots' that'll beat the nasties to crown you crossbowing champion!
