[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4175159, member: 5412"] Everyone has their preferences about the style of Xbow they think is great. In reality ever crossbow is incredibly accurate out of the box. 300 to 500 fps. My first was a compound bow that was a loaner from a friend. 45 lb pull weight. It was used to make my first bow kill on a doe. 25 yards with a complete pass through. I've never had any bow not make a complete pass through from 45 lbs to 70lbs before transitioning to the crossbow because of a medical issue. I get pretty disgusted watching the TV bow hunters championing the luminox inserts with half the arrow sticking out of the animals entry side. They always have to check out and come back the next day for recovery. WTF? Wound a deer to advertise a product? Back to crossbows. Pick out what one can afford and some will disagree but I prefer the recurve models. I've had a string break in the field on a controlled hunt that was easily replaced and back into the hunt in an hour after resighting. Compound bows require a trip to the bow shop for string replacement. The recurve style are just as easily carried through thick woods as the compound models. I've demonstrated it to a fellow OSA member. [/QUOTE]
