RE: Why Crossbows????
Dave.
Everyone has spoken well here on why crossbow.Iam 46 and have onlybow huntedthe last23 yrs.Now I have serious neck problems again and need surgery(again).Insted of giving up bow hunting I found this forum and relized I could still BOW hunt,so with the help of all these people(friends)I decided to buy a crossbow so I can still hunt with what I love tohunt with,a bow and arrow......The Doc said it would be at least 2yrs before I could get back to my recurve's and longbow and maybe I wont be able to do it at all,at least I have my crossbow to hunt with.I do own several long guns,a black powder and many handguns and a couple shotgunsbut I decided I would hunt bow only from the fall of 1982.The kick from the rifles and BP and shotguns are to much for my neck,besides my right arm and hand are somewhat numb and Iam already in steady pain.
So you see,we all have our reasons to use a crossbow.
