RE: Xbows in Petersen's Hunting
at least one letter writer admitted that he had no first hand experience with a crossbow, the others just made it painfully obvious!!!!
The one that said he had no experience was back to the draw/aim/fire controversy. I know I for one am a new xbow person by necessity not choice. I find it much harder to hide the motion of rising the bow with horizontal limbs in a vertical world without being caught much harder than hiding a drawing motion behind the vertical compound....not to mention the awkwardness of those horizontal things while in a tree stand. Man, limbs appear you had no idea would be a problem....even entire trees become an issue!
That said, I find it much harder to raise/aim/fire the heavier, more awkward xbow than any compound I have ever taken to the woods. But then again, I am new to the sport.
