I agree, and I have never said that there aren't a lot of gadgets for compound bows, there are TONS out there. Wann know what my bow is. It is a Browning Mirage, I have a cobra fiber optic sight on it, o yeah, a bear puff. As for a release, I used a cheap 6 dollar Tru Fire that is held in the hand, you push the "trigger button" with your thumb. Thats it. No quiver, I carry my quiver in, no stabilizers, no simms vibrations lab silencers. My arrow, hmm, a 31" Easton xx75 Gamegetter II tipped with a 100 grain N.A.P. Thunderhead. It doesn't sound like I use all of those gadgets. You have to think about that too, how many people have a bow that EVERY little gadget on it from the silicon bead filled stablizer, to the laser range finder? I don't think too many do. Now, the crossbow has a TRIGGER, not a trigger release. I am sure that you won't understand this, but there is a big difference. The trigger release of a compound bow users is attached to the arm and the string. When at full draw, the archer is holding back roughly 35 pounds. How much weight are crossbow users holding back when they have their finger on the trigger? Sure, the crossbow may be heavier than the compound, but the compound is still very heavy. Plus, if it was heavier wouldn't that allow it to apply more pressure to your arm enabling it to be more steady?
