I know you were kidding, but so was I.

But you did seem to get my point of the replay that not everyone reads threads in the same mannor. Some might have read your reply as gospel and that a good bow is garbage or just a toy. Some new people come to a site to learn about crossbows and we need to watch what we say to not unintentionally miss lead them.

A good bow is any bow that you can depend on, is accurate, and has enough power to do the job.
