[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 202128, member: 8"] About five years ago I could not draw my compound bow and hold it because of a shoulder injury and then Maryland legalized the crossbow. Fortunately, lifting very light weights has cured up my shoulder and today for the first time I broke a minute holding it back at full draw (35# of a 70# bow at 50% LO). I am so happy to have my shoulder back and not need a cross bow. My goal is to hold at full draw rock steady for two minutes. For people who need it or want it I think it is fine. As best I could determine there was not much advantage because the new compounds will achieve over 300fps easily. Me and Hunlee will be shooting X Forces except I don't have short arms and 8 children. [/QUOTE]
