RE: who hunts with a crossbow
they will all shoot as good as you can hold them. if you shoot off a rest you will hit your own bolts. i like the maxpoint the best it is very smooth and fast to boot. i hunt with crossbows because i have a permit for a back disability. never shot a regular bow before. the excalibur is self maintainable as you can change you own string in about 30 seconds. they are fun to shoot. very addicting.

RE: who hunts with a crossbow
i do. I use a horton supermag it's a lil older than most of the bows u guys have. It looks just like the youkon. It works for me it's only about 260fps with 150lb pull. I can tear fletching with it out to 30yds which is my max anyways. I've killed a 6pt and a doe with mine in 3yrs of archery hunting.

I don't but my brother in law does. I will shoot my compound as long as my shoulder holds out (which may not be that much longer). In Arkansas, where I do most of my hunting, crossbows are legal for archery season for anyone. In Texas, where I live, they are only legal during the gun season, I believe.

Grizz, you can hunt with a crossbow all year in Texas, except during bow season. If your doctor gives you a letter stating you have an upper limb disability that prevents you from using a hand bow, that makes it legal for you to use one in bow season. You gotta have that letter on you when the game warden comes around though.
Only thing you can't hunt with a crossbow in Texas is migratory birds.

You areright, but if I can't hunt with it during archery season, what good is it? During gun season, I will hunt with a rifle. One thing I like about the Arkansas bow season is that it lasts until Feb 15. I'll keep on using my compound, I just have to be a lot more careful with my shoulder now.

RE: who hunts with a crossbow
do it to it...
Have you ever thought about taking 2 of them out with you at the same time? Take off those rifle scopes, add a lazer sight and you could shoot from the hip, 1 in each hand!
Seriously though, what magnification are those scopes? At 30 yards do you feel the added magnification helps you?
