Not so fast Bucko!! I've heard that same mantra on air rifles. Not those pansy pneumatics you pump up or Co2, but Spring guns. Unless you got a real barn-burner it's bull sheets. It's tru that crossbows like spring guns re-coil forward rather than rearward like a firearm but it's not enough to matter in my book. And I ain't a sore looser, cause Dnk had the right answer. Besides, this game don't pay very well LOL!!In all fairness you are right. Got any more?? Bring em on!
