Compound??
Recurve! none of this newfangled technology that takes the sport out it! Even my xbow is a recurve.[hihi]
...and I used both last season.
I'd use the xbow more but it's so damn heavy and cumbersome at times. Even moreso with trudging through the snow we had this past winter.

If I have to use a cross bow, I'll take up knitting instead. [ko]

bought a new scope today at Tips for my crossbow...cant wait to get it back..and about the first week of oct.....I REMEMBER WHEN THE MUZZELOADER FIRST WAS INTRODUCED....now scopes and inliners...for the guys that think crossbows are not true bowhunting,how many of them actually use a recurve??...belive me the INDIAN would have issues with most hunters using a COMPOUND OR THE CROSSBOW..Hey to each his or her own...enjoy the HUNT.

Guess I'm safe. On a side note, my shoulders aching while I sit here and type.
