I have been wanting to get a crossbow but with there being a short season for them and they cost so much i have not. Well i worstening shoulder issue has became a issue for me bow hunting. Not so much the hunting but all the target time it takes to be good enough to ethicaly shoot at a deer. Well at the doctor the other day he told me to watch how i used my shoulder till it healed. I asked about bow hunting. He told me to hang the bow up till it got better. Or if it got better. He recommend a muzzleloader. I had just bought one but did not want to tell him i was shooting it but i guess it would not hurt me any worst.
HE also told me he would fill out the permit paper so i could use the crossbow all bow season. SO i am thinking about buying a crossbow for the 2010 season.
What are the pros and cons of the crossbow over the compound. Does it give you better range? Any recommends would be great. I want a good crossbow that will last me and one i will not need to replace for a long time.
