When I was "able" to shoot a compound I always said I would NEVER go to a crossbow, NO WAY NEVER HAPPEN! If can't shoot a compound I will quit bow hunting!

Well, few surgeries later and a Dr. that told me never to shoot compound again or pull anything with weight. I thought do I want to really quit bow hunting at the age of 34 just because of my pride???

Next DR's appointment I took the form in to have him fill out so I could shoot a crossbow because here in Missouri it is not legal without a DR.'s excuse.

To me hunting with a crossbow is just as hard as a compound because there shots I can't take with crossbow that a could with a compound. I was more accurate with my compound than I am with the crossbow and that is a fact. Crossbows weigh alot more than a compound and are harder to get around with in the woods or stand. Forget about 2nd shots!

It took me needing to use one to find out that it was NO easier to hunt deer with a crossbow. JMHO

Also I would have no problem if Missouri made crossbows legal for everyone.
