I have been on so many XBow vs, Compound threads I am really sick of responding to them, they always seem to turn sour, no matter how they start out. I use all of my weapons and I consider them all archery equipment...and at this point I have been a licensed hunter for 40 years...and I could really give a big rats a** what anyones opinion is on the subject; I just value my own opinion and the opinion of others that see the light on the subject. Don't get me wrong I am ready to go head to head with anyone on the subject, but it is always the same outcome.
