RE: Point of using a cross bow.
I think it is fun, different, legal and challenging.
This has been a great thread, and also a nice view in to the evolution of the inevitable. It seems crossbows are quickly making their mark in the archery world, resuming the position they should never have left.
I think recurves, crossbows and compounds all have their place,
throwing arrows and tradingfresh meat for a close encounter.
