Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

I'm almost ready to start building my new bow. I'm going to pull the leaf springs out of an old 1 ton truck and bolt them to a modified set of front forks off of a 82 Honda three-wheeler. I'm going to use the drive chain off of same three wheeler for my bow string. I've got some 3/8" stainless steel round bar for arrows (broadheads and fletchings are still in the works, thinking about welding on some tail fins and just sharpening those) A 6x scope will top this monster off. Since I can dead-lift about 600 pounds, a draw weight of around 550 should provide plenty of knock down power. The patent application is in the mail. For Sale: Matthews Featherlite
