Okay, now take all of the goodies off of your cross bow. Take off the scope, take of EVERYTHING go back to 100 years ago and tell me which one is going to result in fewer wounds. You are not looking at the fact that the crossbow you speak of has those neat little gadgets that you hate so much. Take away the composite limbs, the braided string, the scopes. It is not a bow, in the form that it is now. Sure, they WERE bows about 200 years ago, now they are MORE LIKE a short range gun than a bow.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)
