That's like asking if a horse is a dog or a cat. It's a crossbow, that's why it's not called a rifle or a bow.

It's definitely a bow.

It's a cross"bow".... the "cross" is only there because the bow partis horizontal. I just had shoulder surgery in October and bought a TenPoint Pro-slider to hunt with last season. I hunted with it for two months. Let me tell you what I learned... if you haven't actually used a crossbow, the ONLY, and I mean O N L Yadvantage is that you don't have to draw.
- It's heavy and cumbersome.
- Even sighted in, it'smore difficultto hit accurately with than a compound (IN MY EXPERIENCE).
- The accurate range of a compound is equal to or greater than a crossbow.
- It's much easier to grab your bow off a bow-hanger than it is to get a crossbow off a bow-hanger. The other option is to sit and cradle what feels like a boat anchor for hours on end.
- There won't be any possible second shot opportunity after you fire a crossbow, and not just because you have to cock it. Anything within a quarter mile will hear a crossbow fire.
- Think it's tough to walk through the woods with a compound? Try a crossbow.

So, I worked my butt off in physical therapy and was shooting my Drenalin again before the season was out. I sold the crossbow to my brother who was looking for one. To all the crossbow hunters out there... my hat's off to ya.[8D]
