Stealthy ol' pal, you really need to explain this one.
Gladly !
One chooses a crossbow/compound over a recurve/longbow ... why ? Easier to shoot, more accurate, more powerful, less practice needed etc. They got sights, high to no letoff, triggers, cables, cams and high tech assessories.
Those are correct and true facts, undenaible, about crossbows and compounds and the reasons people choose them. A compound might be a bit harder to use, a crossbow heavier and louder, a compound having longer range shooting abilities but the crossbow having higher letoff .... but compare both to recurves/longbows and theres really no comparison at all.
You got guys here arguing they use compounds, not because they really love shooting them, but because they're a weapon they can use to archery hunt deer thats easy to use and accurate - hey, thats the SAME reason crossbow hunters use crossbows !
Aint that amazing ?
