I was looking at Midway USA and saw the Centerpoint Volt 300 for $140.
It's a compound bow, entry level with 130 lb draw and shoots 20" bolts at 300 fps.
I have never bow hunted but if this Corona Virus turns in to a teotwawki situation, I know where there are deer and Turkey that could be discreetly harvested.
Until then, it will just be for target practice in my back yard which is why I'm looking at entry level crossbows. I don't want to spend $300+ on a legit hunting crossbow.
I know I will need a good archery target and extra bolts, probably higher quality than the Centerpoint bolts.
Is there anything else I need?
How often should I change bow strings?
What is the best inexpensive target for a low power compound crossbow?
Any other advice for using a crossbow on a budget would be appreciated.
The Volt 300 comes with what I assume is a low end red dot scope. What would be a budget upgrade that gives me a BDC reticle or elevation turret?
Lastly, what kind of arrowhead should I use for deer and turkey? I should probably get a few to put away.
