I was a "serious crossbow shooter", and your choice of words (ridicule and detest)sucks![:@] I don't ridicule or detest the use of CB's, and have stated this in my previous posts. You really should pay moreattention to what people say. This being said, I still maintain there is no follow through involved when you're resting a CB! If you're shooting free hand there would be.
If you wantthe best results in accuracy, resting the CB is the way to go. Like I said before, if you read it right, that's why guys sighting in a rifle use a rest/bench, for the best accuracy. Think about it.I'll say this one more time. I have no problem with anyone who chooses to hunt with a CB, it's just not forME anymore.
