timbercruiser i really don't like bashing any bowhunter i just get pretty tired of reading how some trash crossbows and i even seen some want to bash firearms.
i mean i like to hunt with my bow and love getting out and shooting it. i would rather shoot my bow than my crossbow but i like the crossbow.
i really have the belief that if one is good with a weapon and it is legal go for it. even though i feel that ethically a firearm is the best weapon to harvest a animal thats why they call it modern.
and firstshot is right you can hold a crossbow at full draw until the cows come home but can you hold it to your shoulder that long?
