Twenty five years ago, I suffered the ridicule and name calling that everyone is throwing at Crossbows today. Back then I chose to hunt with a Compound Bow! Almost every argument made against the crossbow was made against the compound. Too easy, too many hunters, can shoot to far, poachings going to increase, blah, blah, blah. I've heard it all before. To the point some folks get violent. Hunting is dying a slow death due to a decrease in numbers. The average age is getting older and new hunters are slow in coming. I say whatever is legal and floats your boat...if it's better for hunting, it's better for all of us.

I've done some serious testing between the Mathews Legacy and the Tenpoint Crossbow. The Compound has more KE and can shoot farther and in the right hands is as accurate. Now, I do have to admit that a crossbow is easier to learn to shoot accurately, but so is the compound compared to the recurve. If thats the biggest argument, I guess they should outlaw compounds too.
