I was in the shower (trying to get this damn neck to stop hurting) and asked myself ........ why would I choose a crossbow ? Injury obviously .......... but why else ? I can only think that its because they're easy, don't require much practice and afford me pretty good shooting skills. I don't thinking shooting one would be much fun - not compared to my recurve for sure.

I think everyone will agree with that - right ? So I then asked myself (a long shower guys) why would I choose a compound ? Well, I DID choose a compound last fall ... why ? Ease of use, i didn't have to practice much with it - it afforded me good shooting without weeks and months of practicing. Compounds use to be fun for me - not so much the shooting but the tinkering with new gadgets. I quit them looking for more challenge, more fun I suppose - the compound doesn't compare to the recurve in those depts.

Isn't the reasons the same for choosing either then ?
