Default RE: Reason You Hav A Crossbow

In 98" I was coming back from a hunt on a atv I rounded abig brush pile and a doe jumped out in front of me I hit it head on and was flung about 30 feet in the air into a poplar tree. Unable to call anyone i laid there until after dark until my wife knew something was wrong they come looking for me. I was rescued by the rescue squad and EMS units and carried in a stokes basket by atv to a waiting helicopter and airlifted out. One week later I returned home to lick my wounds..I seperated my shoulder, broke my pelvis in 2 spots, broke my left foot and had a head concussion. Iwas wearing a helmet and it was cracked with deer hair in the visor and mouth guard. I laid there for 3 months and had to learn to walk all over again. Thank God for morphine..Unable to draw my bow on the lowest setting without pulling my arm out of socket and shoving my shoulder against a tree to put it in place I give up bow hunting until 2004 '. I bought a TL-4 with scope from Tenpoint and now back in the saddle again. Ive taken many deer with it since 04' and tagged out with it last year 6 deer & 2 turkeys one was a bearded hen with 8.75 beard.. I love my xbow.
