I dont use a rest when i shoot my crossbow, and i (in my situation) tend to move a bit more with my compound then i do with my crossbow. However, with a deer behind me i would stand and move to face that direction no matter what bow i am using that day. I was just curious to see how many hunters who slam a crossbow actually have hunted with one and to see they could compare movements between the two bows. When i shoulder my xbow, its not on a rest, i hold it there until the deer gives me a shot. Now grant it, holding a compund bow at full draw, and shouldering a xbow is a bit different.....but the same in alot of instances.

The outdoors is yours, treat it with RESPECT!!!
