I think I posted this before in a different thread.

I never had a compound until last year. I joined aorganization that culls overpopulated deer from suburban subdivisions, year round. Their requirement is compound or crossbow ONLY! I shot my first 2 deer this year with it. I felt like I was cheating. I wish I could use my trad bows, if I could I'd not ever have a compound.
I wouldn't go back if I had a choice but I'm not giving up year round hunting on account of it.
