I have read all posts on this issue and you guys make sense.If I could I'd use a traditional bow.My arm won't take it .I would use a compound but in fairness to the game my arm won't take it.My neighbor kids all shoot comp's and they are as accurate as I am.I believe in what so many here have said,and as far as numbers believe me in Ohio the deer are winning.I'd rather hunt with a cross bow at 60 then sit home and watch the OLN channel. I did see where in Ohio crossbows only had a 3% higher kill rate than compound bows.
all the best!
