Driving deer with crossbows.....hmmmmmmmm....Then I should ofassumed the guys that were walking by my stand carring compounds were driving deer with thier compounds,acouple yrs ago I had a few trad shooters walk buy me too.....must of been driving deer with thier trad bows too......Hmmmmmmm or maybe they were walking out to stands or just walking........hmmmmmmm........

sproulman....this in reply to what you typed...not you...Just so YOU know I have shot compound for 23 yrs and trad afew times in there,I was planning on going 100% TRAD nxt yr(spent over 1600.00 on trad last yr)but Neck problems changed it so now I will be shooting a Crossbow for my 1st time(another 800.00).....Ive never Had a issue with crossbows in all my yrs so I find it interesting on how so many realy hate them and yes I do know afew people that do but wont say it to your face unless someone else starts it................. and as far as being EASY I think you have it wrong there,I would rather carry my recurve,longbow or yes compond into the woods and into a treestand then a crossbow,the weight alone will wind ya carrying a crossbow in.I havnt even carried my Profusion 100 yrds and Iam looking at buying a sling for it if they make one.......as far as being like a gun dont know havent shot a deer with agun in well 24 yrs...have taken a few with BP under 25yrds and with pistol still under 30 yrds but nothing with a rifle and over 30 yrds....and Iam betting My shots with the crossbow will be around the 20 yrd area or under.....

and yes Iam selfcenterd....the Earth DOES revolve around me........Not really...just wanted to say that..............
