FAQ

Nope, we are in New Hampshire which is a state that does not have sales tax. That, and we can’t have the FedEx guy collect it so the price you see is the price you pay… no 7% surprises added on top of your bill.

Not really. Though we have a huge on-hand inventory it's not set up like a “retail store” as we primarily ship the majority of orders out all over the world. We can, however, serve local customers and are happy to help you with whatever you are interested in. Just give us a call and we can set up a time for you to come over and we can get you set.

Sure! No problem helping local customers! However, since we are geared to mail order we request you call and we can set up a time for you to come by so we can take the time to properly serve you and not be tripping over ourselves trying to get boxes out the door. Our address is 237 North River Road, Lee, New Hampshire 03861

You bet! We are one of the largest crossbow dealers in the country and are direct with all the brands we sell. The manufacturers know us very well and you are fully covered by their warranties when you buy from us.

Depends on the bow and what the issue may be. Since we only sell the highest quality bows we don’t see the warranty issues that most places do. That being said, crap happens now and then and it has to be dealt with. Some manufacturers will require the crossbow or product be sent directly to them to have problems dealt with. Others will have us take care of the issues in-house. Check your warranty information included with your product to see what the manufacturer needs you to do. Either way, give us a call and keep us in the loop. Sometimes we can help to expedite service or get things taken care of for you better if we are involved. We are your advocate to the manufacturers so let us help where we can.

We do this because of the contracts we have with the manufacturers. Most of them require us to sell for what they tell us to. So, rather than lower the price and lose our dealerships we add stuff in free to “fluff the package” and add value. Generally, when you look at the prices of the parts we include free we are one of the best deals around.

Well, generally they tend to be problematic and not as reliable as the better quality crossbows on the market. They are also invariably made in China. Nothing against Chinese crossbows but if we can sell higher quality crossbows for a few dollars more, know we are selling reliability and good performance, and keep a few American workers employed we would rather do that. Take a look at some of the bows we offer. For just a bit more than those big box store bows, you can get something worth owning that is made in the U.S.A.

On most of the bows we sell we can tweak the packages to suit your needs, at least to some extent. Some are easier to play games with the components than others. Generally yes, we can make a custom kit just the way you want it.

Many of them we can do that but it's not always cost-effective to do so. The issue is what do we do with the parts we take off. The manufacturers will not take the parts back so we have to re-sell them on their own. Say you are looking for a specific bow and you don’t want the scope. The scope may have no retail value if it’s a very basic scope. In that case, we can't do much with it. Others may have some ability to be sold retail, but as “take off” scopes they are not able to be sold at the full price so again, they tend to lose their value. A lot of times we can do something but sometimes it's simply better for you to buy the kit and sell the parts you don’t want privately..you will get more money for them.

We at Wyvern Creations would like to thank you for your service. In general we try to keep our prices a low as we can and if we have to follow manufacturer price guidelines we normally try to add value. For example most of the bows we sell we include free extras that are usually equal to more than most places give as a discount. We also have free shipping on bow kits and no sales tax on anything so overall we are a pretty good deal and try to give everyone the best pricing we can.

They are the same thing but a “bolt” is really a leftover term from medieval times when crossbows shot a short hunk of metal that was designed to penetrate armor. The “correct” term is “arrow” but “bolt” is still used. The big issue is that calling them “bolts” is used by anti-crossbow groups to show how crossbows are not “archery” because they don’t shoot “arrows.”

Lots of good options out there but we're snobs and will only sell bows made in the USA (or Canada) from brands that we'll actually use ourselves. If it's on our, website it’s something that you can trust.

Provided the broadhead is a “crossbow rated” broadhead they generally will work well. The rule of thumb is slower bows will get more penetration with a fixed head, though you may have to re-sight in the bow for those heads. Faster bows tend to prefer mechanicals such as the Rage.

Depends on the bow and what you are looking for. Mechanical heads tend to fly very close to field points and leave big holes in animals. They do, however, take energy to open and don't penetrate quite as well as fixed heads as with those big blades you're whacking more bone. Fixed heads are simple and have great penetration but don’t leave as big a hole, and the faster the bow the harder they are to get to fly as well or similar to field points so more tuning may be involved. We will recommend mechanicals on faster bows and fixed on slower bows. Most of the mid-speed bows you can use either with great results.

Recurve Crossbows are simple and light- those are the 2 big selling points. No bow press needed and no timing or complex tuning to deal with. They are; by comparison to compound crossbows; harder to cock, louder, and can be higher priced than many compound crossbows in the same speed range. Compound crossbows are generally narrower (some by quite a bit) quieter (relatively, all crossbows are somewhat loud) and much easier to cock. Entry level compound crossbows can be a lot less money than entry level recurve crossbows. They are, however, heavier and require bow presses to work on, as well as requiring tuning during string and cable changes. It’s a trade-off as to what kind of bow will work best for you.
