If I have to give up the bow, I will go back to muzzleloading with iron sights. I will not go back to shooting a crossbow. Even though I spent a fortune on the one I have, it will hang on the wall except for coyote and the occasional Wabbit. The dang thing has too much power. I was getting 6" penetration on the target at 100 yards. I can't explain adequately the ill feeling I got when I killed that old buck with it and I don't want that feeling again.
