RE: I am going to try a vertical bow..
 

Or you can shoot it like the romans did for distance,use your feet and draw it back with your hands while lying on your back.....I think that qualifies as a horizontal bow.:D:D:DYou will be shooting 500 yrds in no time...............

RE: I am going to try a vertical bow..
 

I doubt I would hunt with it, I seem to really enjoy practicing.. I see it as another way to enjoy doing something I love, being outside and honing skills.. I have spent way too much time understanding my crossbow to even consider leaving it behind for a hunt, a hunt I have never done yet.
