[mossbergman11]

i was wondering what you would reccommend a crossbow or a bow under a tihgt budget for a teenage hunter??

[bigtim6656]

i looked at buying a crossbow it seems there alittle more then bows

[mossbergman11]

wat is better to start off with do u think and easier to use because i dont have much tiime to practice a lot?

[Schultzy]

Compound! Take time to practice!

[mossbergman11]

thats the problem i dont got time to practice

[Schultzy]

If your going to bow hunt the bottom line is you need to practice. There's to many things to go wrong on a bow and arrow not to practice here and there. If you don't want to put the time in then buy a crossbow, make sure there legal in your state before you buy one. The guys tell me there pretty easy to figure out.

i have the same problem with practicing but i do not have anyplace close to do it

i would go with a bow but a crossbow will give you higher poundage and easy to hold and aim how often can you practice
