My crossbow.



Made it myself in my back yard. No sights. I aim it just like I did with my other bows. 125 lbs draw but with only an 8" power stroke, it has power roughly equal to a 45 pound recurve. I've been shooting it for quite awhile now. Exclusively, now that my shoulders are completely shot. It's a helluva lot more challenging to shoot than any compound I've ever used.

My buddies at the all traditional club I belong to tease me about it, but they have no problem accepting it. Most of them have even played with it.

Yep. It's archery. Just as much as a high let-off, mechanically released compound is, IMO.
