Getting rid of the crossbow.....
Ok guys, I had the post asking if anyone hunts with a crossbow. I recently bought a Barnett Quad 400.I have a new developement concerning mine and I thought I should follow up.
After doing some more shooting over the past week or so I have come to the conclusion that a crossbow is just not for me.I REALLY miss shooting a compound alot. I am in no way against crossbows or using them...I still very much condone them for whoever enjoys it. I just dont get much joy out of shooting one and I want to get back to compound shooting.Shooting a crossbow to me is kindalike shooting a quiet rifle at close range. The store I got it from is taking it back and I will get my compound. I am going wth a Martin Jaguar which I have read many good things about..some on this board. I have never owned a Martin, but I am excited to try them out. It should be in either tomorrow or Friday.I will update as it unfolds. |

i've shot both and i prefer a compound anyday, i was not that impressed with the one i shot, but others hunting with them does not bother me;)

My buddy shoots a crossbow but i shoot a compound. I'd rather shoot a compound but crossbows shoot extremely fast and flat.

I have no choice ,but yes a compound is nicer to me also.But I am stuck with a xbow

I shoot a X-bow too, and it shoots good. But I'm wanting to shoot my compound here soon.

I don't have anything against crossbows, but for me personally, it doesn't feel right if I'm not hunting with my compound bow.

Hunted with xbow last season, didn't feel as confident as with my compound bow. I can hit my 3D in the eye from anywhere in my yard. Haven't missed a live target with compound. Son is using the xbow, he prefers it over his compound -easier toset-up and get accurate placement. I agree that the shorter bolts vs longer arrows is a hinderance, but once sighted in correctly, the xbow is a deadly deer slaying tool in experienced hands. I personally will continue to hunt with a compound. Just bought a Switchback, I LOVE IT.
