Hi Craig,
I’ll do my best to get my hands on one and have it reviewed. I’ll ping you when it’s up!
If money is not an issue, I would go with the 380. However, both crossbows are excellent and you really won’t feel bad about having the 350.
A 30 – 35 should be good for her I would say, although it also depends on what her goal is (hunt, practice, etc?)
Thanks for the kind words about the review!
Hi Jimi
If you are a beginner with very little shooting experience, the takedown bow is the better choice as you will quickly “outgrow” whatever draw weight you get, and you will most likely want a heavier bow. Unless you are certain that you can handle #45 as you did on the Mountaineer (and by handle, I mean handle it long term and hold it for a good while during a hunt, as you line up your shot), and believe that the #45 is all you will ever need – in which case go for the Blackhawk. I hope this helps. In general, these two bows are very similar quality wise.
Yes Ryan, you can. Though it will require either some natural innate talent, or a lot of practice.
You’re very welcome Dana. This is a fantastic x-bow, it should serve you really well.
You are very welcome, happy to hear it!
