I don't agree that the X-bow is a superior weapon over todays compound.

We have the advantage when it comes to KE and Penetration.

Crossbows are cumbersome and noisy.

Your not shooting any farther with a crossbow.

Superior weapon come on.

I'll be honest I've hunted about 20 years with a bow now. I've never been busted drawing on a deer and I've killed plenty.

Now your putting into the equation bow with let offs up 99%.

I haven't shot my Hoyt for a month and a half and I bet you I could walk out back and put five arrows in the kill at 25 yards.
