he has a bow too and hunts.I could`nt believe he would do something like that and then calmly say "what it don`t hurt em" but it takes all types ,I`ve cracked limbs from shooting too light of an arrow so it does`nt always take a dry fire to wreck a bow,but unfortunately mn. does`nt allow me to shoot a crossbow so I stick to a couple of bowtechs,I know archery but I can`t help as much as I`d like with the crossbow. It`s nice to have forums like this.
