Was thinking about all the deer I have seen on my way in and out of the woods. I truly cannot recall all of the times I could have taken a deer if only I was cocked and locked at all times. I know this has happened to all of us (if it hasn' t it will).

One of the biggest challenges for an archer is getting close to the animal and remaining undetected untill you can get a good shot off. It' s way harder to accomplish this when you need to make the effort and movement of drawing a bow in comparison to squeezing a trigger.

I' d really like to use a crossbow for turkey hunting. It sure would make it easier.

OK, not really I like bowhunting too much to switch even if I could, but you get the point I hope. Not to say I wouldn' t feel like I accomplished something but bowhunters get busted a lot drawing a bow. Take the whole draw thing out of the equation and things get much easier. I really have a tough time beleiving that they are that horrible to hunt with and they are at a disadvantage. Paaaaleeeeeeze!! If they were all that no one would want to use them period.

I' m not bashing. It just seems this major advantage has been diluted by a bunch of nonsense about how tough it is to hunt with a crossbow, and so on.
