[QUOTE="Heath423, post: 4911142, member: 19295"] [b]Re: Bit the bullet[/b] @dhpro The Nitro XRD is an excellent bow. CrossbowNation.com is an excellent forum for more information and help. I have learned a lot from that group. X-bow conversation here I found was a little slow on this site. As with all things, be sure to understand the safety aspects of it.
