I've been a bow hunter for a long time but after 5 fused vertebrae and shoulder surgeries I am down to using a crossbow where legal. I drew a nilgai hunt in February and so I ordered a more modern crossbow the Ravin R29X sniper package. I have an excalibur matrix 355 that I just shot a buck 2 nights ago to end my archery season.
Since this is such a larger animal, I've looked into people who have posted about huntin elk with them. Does anyone know if the 6 bolts that come with the package are fine for this hunt or should I upgrade to something else? I'm liking the muzzy 125 gr fixed broadheads for this hunt and since I get a pro deal on them I'll probably go that route unless someone convinces me otherwise.
Also, with such a higher velocity than my other crossbow, does anyone have an idea on lethal range for this? The KE is pretty high out to 100 yards but with the possible wind in south texas, that's an unlikely range for me even if lethal.
