How Not to Shoot a Crossbow

"no way a crossbow could have recoil right?" *s m a c k*

[@mennograafmans1595]

Anything that launches a projectile has recoil. Any action has equal jada jada. Some weapons just absord it better or differently. And most don't produce enough energy to have it really affect you. So that's why it seems some boys and catapults etc. don't have recoil, but they do.

[@joshridgell4312]

Yes it has recoil but barley any at all I mean come on has anybody in this entire comment section shot a crossbow? He had a lose grip and the stock was NOT tight to his shoulder you can see it move slightly up then down before he took the shot meaning he was holding it slightly out from his shoulder.. I did it as a kid cause a crossbow is so light and u don’t expect it to do anything… so your grip is relaxed and not tight to your shoulder. The kid just underestimated his weapon, Just grip it like a man hold it tight to your shoulder and all is well👍🏼

I like how no one notices the fact his hand is in the path of of the bow string. It's not really as common knowledge as it should be, but putting your hand up in the path of the string is as dangerous as pointing a loaded gun at your hand, but you don't need an arrow to get hurt. Cross bows can have twice as much draw weight if not more than any other standard bow (compound,recurve, long) and have taken and broken fingers. Hes lucky he put his hand back down onto the foregrip because he definitely would have been missing flesh on his thumb if his hand did not move.

[@7861blackthorn]

I really didn't even think about the scope tbh. I was waiting for the severed thumb to happen.

[@therecruitmain1258]

Not just the thumb, him loading the bolt while holding towards the rear of it was just asking for his other fingers to be shortened a few notches...

[@dmax06]

Scope Eye!!!?💥 What doesn't make sense is how anyone can get that close to the scope and see clearly? The eye relief is usually a couple few inches depending on the scope. The shooter would have to be on top of it seeing a blurred target?

He wasn't expecting a string to have any type of recoil, I would assume. That force has to go somewhere, and if you aren't expecting it, and don't have the stock close to your shoulder, you get what happened here.

[@RickyRicardoRuiz]

@@Deshelton10 not necessarily true. I have both rifles and crossbows, and the "recoil" from a crossbow is completely different. The "recoil" from a crossbow travels forward as the cable and cams propel the bolt. The same is not true for rifles and shotguns.

Was expecting him to load the bolt while it was still on his foot and for him to pitch himself like a tent

[@theblazingpegasus9151]

Crossbows have a safety preventing them from being able to fire that the weapon automatically actives upon the string locking back so that isn't really dangerous it still would be a weird way to load it tho

[@AGMertzy]

@@theblazingpegasus9151 you could lose it when you’re pulling the string back though. Perhaps he couldn’t quite manage to get it the last bit of the way past the hook. You would have to be pretty dumb to have a bolt in there when you’re drawing the string back though haha!

[@theblazingpegasus9151]

@@AGMertzy idk how u would have a bolt in at all while ur loading idk if that's even possible tbh

[@AGMertzy]

@@theblazingpegasus9151 it really isn’t possible, but honestly that might be how someone would shoot themself in the foot. Maybe for some reason they thought you were supposed to load the bolt right before you lock the string back. So while they’re trying to get the bolt in they lose there grip on the string and it launches the bolt straight into their foot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That’s just a scenario where I think it would be possible. Again you would have to know basically nothing about crossbows to do this.

[@onigireee]

I don't have a goddamn clue about anything regarding firearms, but you don't put your eye on the scope? I always thought you do! 😅

[@Davenzoid]

@@onigireee You can comfortably get a sight picture without having your eye that close to the scope. Most likely the crossbow belonged to someone who primarily shoots standing up. Instead of shooting while standing, he slouched down to look through the scope, thus setting the stock further from himself. Had that been a firearm, that woulda given him one hell of a nasty cut.

[@ZSmith-yy4lv]

My eyes are about 4 or 5in away from the scope. You keep both eyes open for a better sight picture, and you can see your target and the sights all at once.

[@limitisillusion7]

The scope might have had poor eye relief which is common with cheap scopes you put on crossbows. His mistake was underestimating the recoil. If he had treated it like a 12 gauge, it wouldn't have done that
