[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 401681, member: 2736"] I fit into both of those categories But If I could draw a compound bow I would still be using one because of there accuracy and effective range over the crossbow. When I was shooting my compound (Before the shoulder surgery) I shot full length 2317s @ 96 pounds and made good clean pass through kills beyond 70 yards with no problems. The effective range for a crossbow is 50 yards and under because of the lighter/shorter bolts. (425grains as compared to 700 to 1000 grains for the compound bow. So if anything the cross bow limits the distance to effectively shoot and only make it easy to shoot without much practice. There is no accuracy advantage if the compound bow shooter has it properly tuned and practices 2 or 3 times a week especially at longer distances. I don't like giving up my bow but my love of bow hunting over rules my preference on the type of equiptment I will use. By the way I have ordered a TAC 15 because it is one of the crossbows that is nearest to a good compound bow. and I am not willing to give up any more than I have to. PS: There are several other crossbows that can shoot over 400 ft/sec but they still shoot 300 to 400grain arrows including the broad head. But the TAC 15 uses 26.5" arrows/bolts and that helps in the accuracy department. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
