[QUOTE="Sackett, post: 567244, member: 35172"] I shot a bow for many years and killed a lot of whitetails with it. Now, I shoot a crossbow because of an injury,,,what is the difference you ask when the speeds are close to the same? #1- My Desert Stryker crossbow shoots an honest 353 ft/p/s with a 100gr Thunderhead Broadhead, not many bows will do that. But here is the difference as far as hunting goes...you pick up a crossbow, flip the safety off, aim and pull the trigger,,,,same as a rifle!!! With a bow you gotta stand up, pull the bow back (without gettin' caught) then shoot....A bow is still and always will be the extreme challenge!!! but a crossbow is still fun and I'm thankful that I am allowed to hunt with it or I'd not be in the woods as early each year!! I shot a deer 09-24-11 with my crossbow at 42 yds,,,hit it in the left shoulder, went through into the right shoulder and out into the ground....it busted up BOTH shoulders I mean BUSTED the bones,,,,as well as any rifle!!!!amazed me, I've busted a bone or two with my Mathews,,but nothing like this!!!!!
