I've been hunting for 25 years now (started at 12). I hunted archery (compound) from 15 to about 22years old....killed about half a dozen (all doe). Then hunted only rifle untill last year when I once again had enough time to hunt archery again. My bow last year was the same one that I got when I was 15 (that would be 1984). Being underpowered and low speed I limited myself to shots under 20 yards. I managed to kill two does last year with the bow and got hooked again. This year I knew that I had to have a new bow or crossbow, and since no one that I know has ever shot a crossbow I just had to try one. So to make a short story long I guess that I have only killed about 8 with archery equipment (several dozen others have fallen to the 270win.
