You are right on the money on that one. Follow-up shot with a cross-bow......might as well forget it......especially if you are in a tree stand...LOL. The compound has a HUGE advantage in that regard. If the deer isn't looking right at you, you can usually nock another arrow without too much commotion. Not so with a cross-bow where recocking can be a real trick while in a tree stand. I've got a Grand Slam climber and you've durn near got to be a gymnist just to get your foot into the cocking stirrup. Either that or sit back down and cock it with the but stock against your chest. Either way you're making so much commotion, that getting a second shot is highly unlikely.

Another reason to: Make your first shot count!
