But unlike you who can be swayed like a blade of grass from a poll on an internet forum, I can trust myself and my own observations.
So you are telling me that you believe nothing you read from other members on this forum ? When they relate personal experiece that means nothing ? Im not asking about someone picking one of their products but just guys talking about hunting.
What if 50 guys said product y was a piece of junk and they have nothing but trouble from it. Would you call them liars?
We are not talking about Elvis sightings or USO abductions. We are talking about your fellow hunters that say they have used both xbows and regular bows. It's not like there is great debate among them...they all say the same thing. That the two very similar in the range a deer can be killed and the xbow isn't the huge advantage that some think.
Either you are very untrusting of your fellow hunters or you just do not wish to admit the truth because you have dug this hole of denial and cant get out.
I have an old Bear recurve I think is made in the 50's. I haven't worked with it much but I can tell it's much tougher to shoot than a compound. I give you guys that shoot these bows respect for your dedication. It takes more work to use one. I hope to be able to put more time in with it soon and maybe take a deer with it. Also I do woodowrking and would love to make my own. I know a guy that lives bow building. I may work with him so he can give me some pointers.
