I don' t think I would hunt with a cross gun. I' ve shot them and I' m not impressed. I can shoot better with a compound. They' re heavy and alkward and there' s nothing to play with. You might as well hunt with a hand gun or rifle. At least you can reload and play with different loads. I' d be with David and be an outlaw cause I definitlly would be hunting with a bow. It might even make bowhunting more interesting. trying to not get caught bowhunting. I' d be the one looking for escape routes. JERRY
