What are all the parts of a crossbow? how is it loaded? how is the arrow fired? etc..
Maybe a diagram would also be helpful, thanks.
Imagine a compound bow on a rifle.
The rifle base has a horizontally mounted crossbow with a large square-ish figure on the front. One simply steps through the figure, grabs the single string (Not the up or bus cables), and pulls. You can be pulling upwards of 179 pounds with a good crossbow. You keep pulling until it comes under your scope or sight, where it’ll nock and lock in place.
From there, you simply load a bolt, point, aim, and fire.
How would I go about fishing in DC. I recently moved there to attend school and would like to keep fishing.
I am curious as to the regulations, licenses, location, bait and tackle shops, and accessibility?
i have lived 20 minutes from dc but haven’t fished it in 3 years so i wouldn’t be able to give up to date info on fish locations and where to fish at but can give basic info. you will need a license. i would go to Fletcher’s boathouse near georgetown. they have bait, license and can tell you where to go to find fish. they also have boat rentals
been out of fishing for a long time tips and advice please?
back in the day i was a fish a holic but as a result of becoming bankrupt in the 80s i sold all my fishing gear (around £2000 alot of money back then) and stopped fishing all together…..recently i have have brought a house with its own lake massive thing and full of fish …im also looking for a fishing boat for a bit of sea fishing (never done that before.. i would be very gratful if you could help answer a few questions.im looking for top of the range gear as i believe this improves ones performance.
best brands of rods for coarse and sea?
top of the range tackle?(brands)

carp fishing rods top brands???(was a big time favourite of mine)
good websites where i can purchase all top gear?
and any other information that has changed from the 80s lol i know im sound a bit old fashioned but hey once a fisherman always a fisherman!!
many thanks
thanks for the help everyone and yes i was looking for a boat for saltwater fishing many thanks all
I will be totally honest here, i know very little about course fishing for carp etc. i used to own a game angling store(fly fishing) and sadly a lot of things have changed since then. BUT i do still know anglers in the UK so maybe i can help you out.
Are you looking to buy a boat for saltwater fishing? if so you could buy new but your costs would be high, buying a used boat from ebay would cost a lot.
I don’t suggest buying a boat straight away, find a charter boat nad go fishing for the day, see if its still as it used to be, cod stocks in the UK have declined a lot so the chances are you wont catch as much as before. Freshwater fishing however has stayed fairly constant from what i have heard.
As for gear, well i can help you out on the saltwater rods. Ive been told to mention these by some of my British angling buddies.
Firstly the Greys Apollo beach caster-rated 6oz, 13 ft, it will suit most grounds, including rough ground. the M2 version will cost you around £189, with the newer version £200+.
The Century Carbon Metal is a good choice, also in 13 and 14ft sizes, it will suit clean to moderate rough ground.
Reels-The Penn 525 supermag, Abu 7000i and the new 7000 mag. Lighter reels like the abu 6500 sports mag are also great choices.
You will find saltwater and freshwater gear here
