You can change the strings without a press.I have a carbon express x-force advantex and figure I will upgrade in a year or two. That little hickory creek just keeps popping up. Everyone that has one loves it. I have watched a bunch of you tube videos about them, but what makes them so amazing? A lot of good crossbows can be had for $700-$800. I am not knocking the Hickory, I am asking for the reason I should drink the Kool aid too.
Yep. Shooting one is honestly a bit weird because of the offset scope. Once you get it down pat, the huge advantage is ease of carrying and maneuverability in the tree. I walked miles and miles through brush and palmettos last year with the thing hanging down by my side. I used to have a wicked ridge invader, and there was no good way to carry that thing.Nutterbuster, I liked your breakdown. I will definitely have to shoot one. I will hunt this season with what I have. I have already spent a lot going from a climbing stand to setting up for saddle hunting this season. The one big thing I really like is the vertical and not having to worry about bouncing a limb off the trunk.
5/16-18 on my HC Mini crossbow.Does anyone know the thread size on the rail part that goes into the riser? I know this isn't the mini but hopefully the pic gives ya an idea what I'm talking about. I'm going to try to find a knob style nut to fit it and hopefully tighten the two pieces better. View attachment 29890
