[QUOTE="Tampabucs, post: 1182545, member: 9581"] Not exactly. The idea is to keep a field point in your quiver. Say you're in a treestand and you want to get down. You put your xbow on safe, pull the arrow with the broadhead out and put it back in your quiver. Then you pull out an arrow with a field tip on and shoot it in the ground. Some guys choose to bring a small discharge target to the stand, so they don't have to deal with shooting an expensive arrow into the ground. I'll admit this is a big disadvantage of the crossbow. Even if you can easily retrieve an arrow shot into the ground or target they aren't quiet. So, if a deer/hog is walking near by you just alerted them to your presence. One thing is for sure, there are pros and cons with an xbow. To me, the pros outweigh the cons. The limited movement thing just can't be said enough. [/QUOTE]
