I'm sorry you were forced to give up something that you so obviously love , a friend of mine is near the same point and facingthe samechoice . He was resistant to the idea of going to a xbow at first, but then he asked to borrow one of mine and concluded the same as you have . For now he's still shooting his bows and hunting while he can , and when he gets where you are he says he'll make the same choice . Enjoy your new path and keep on hunting .
