Go easy on the crossbow crowd. They all secretly wish they could shoot a real bow. LOL... just like most compound bowhunters wish they could shoot a long bow... just like all long bow hunters wish they had a chance to kill one with their knife. Hey sport, it's suppose to be fun. Don't get all wrapped up in this macho of who's more manly, macho or a better hunter. Do your thing and give the other guys room to manuver. If you feel a need to compare yourself or measure yourself against someone else, well you're probably missing out on a lot of fun.
