Elkcrazy8 - I don't agree with much of what you said on elk hunting and I've been pretty successful at it. Carrying a 10 pound crossbow in elk county would be EASIER for you ? Drawing is the hardest part ? Dude, finding an elk is the hardest part, getting him to respond to your calling is the hardest part. Drawing on one with a compound ? Easy, easier than any animal I've hunted. Try a recurve if you want HARD.

Using the same argument compounders use ......... I use a recurve and I think compounds are ridiculously easy, they can be drawn when the game is NOT in their presence, the >80% letoff, triggers, horizontal limb technolog, the incredible speed and accuracy ......... damn things shouldn't be allowed in archery season.

Same argument compounders use against crossbows I'll use againt compounds and it'll be every bit as valid, won't it ?
