I have seen arrowguns that have chrono'd over 350fps. I have yet to see but one compound do it.
Then you aren't looking very hard.

Ok, folks go ahead and open it.

PDF and holes in adobe software is how most trojans are getting thru these days. But sure you know that. Ask adobe.

Trend officescan found it. I seriously doubt you have the security we have. Unless your secure goverment entity. And you could be.

What bows with a 400gr arrow do you see breaking 350? I mean for a fair comparison with this hunters friend link

Sure you already know this. Explains the adobe flaw. Glad I wasn't at home and tried to open it. I would have never knew.

Interesting wounding study showing crossbow hunters are no more accurate than compound hunters.

Of course on a range I'm sure they are, but in the woods, in hunting conditions, the negatives of shooting a crossbow comes into play (they're heavy, they're loud, they're cumbersome etc)

ant-crossbow zealots will not recognize this study though ...... of course if it showed crossbows wounded more they would

If you are still running on software that has not been updated since 2007, then you deserve to catch a trojan.

MO, just trying to warn folks. If your a hacker/trojan virus/IT expert, then I appoligize. We get updates for everything litterly every month.

Hackers and virus code writers didn't take a break from 2007 til now, I promise you.

You said it was a pdf, but adobe if you call them will explain they have updates after updates to battle this stuff. but you probably know better than them, so I appoligize.

In my work, I mostly analyze statistics. So you believe that n=5 is solid statistics compared to n=75?

It was a good study.
