Well lets see............... I use a crossbow because I never had the opportunity to shoot a compound bow when I was young. I got in to hunting in my early teens and crossbows are legal here in Ohio for anyone to use, and it was easy and convenient for me to pick one up and learn to shoot it. I keep telling myself I am going to buy a nice compound and learn to shoot it good enough to where I feel comfortable hunting with it. ( I have shot friends bows and of course not set up for me but I'm not bad, I can keep it on the target) It's just some of the bows I see are so damn expensive for a quality bow and set up. Like I said one of these days I'll do it. Maybe this spring I'll break down and buy one and by fall be ready to hit the woods. [/align]
