i dont think i said you dont need to practice with crossbow.

it does take more physical skill to pull a compound and learn to shoot it vrs a crossbow.

i can take my crossbow out and shoot in same hole at 20 yds over and over even with a bad shoulder.

try to do that with compound even with a good shoulder.

it fact, i said you need TRAINING to shoot a crossbow.

my comments werenever about the crossbow,they were always about LACK OF DEER ,MORE STINK IN WOODS FROM NEW HUNTERS,THINKING THEY CAN SHOOT 40.50/60 YDS.

it was never a dislike for crossbow or ones that are ETHICAL HUNTERS ,its new ones that think they are gun that bothers me.

most i know that have a compound are going to buy a crossbow.

here is disturbing part tho.

they feel that anyone can just pick it up and go hunting.

they have 3 kids and only buying 1 crossbow,they are planning to share the crossbow with each kid.

try doing that with a recurve or compund bow.

give it try and let me know how you do.
