[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1184691, member: 7123"] Exactly what I'm saying, yep! You can be very very accurate with a regular bow. Having said that, I think shooting from weird positions is precisely where the xbow WILL shine over the regular. But just from a standard standing position, the xbow isn't THAT much more accurate in my hands - at least not at 20. Now at 40, 50, & 60 yards? Sure, it will be due to speed / practical accuracy issues (as I mentioned). Hey Tampabucs, after further thought, you are quite a bit more 'right' than me on the "shoot a field tip arrow into the dirt" issue - my counterpoints were valid except that I wasn't being creative really. It occurs to me now that I could just carry a beat-up crap arrow of another brand/make than the expensive PSE specialty arrows into the field, of sufficient weight & stiffness to handle being launched from the PSE, and simply replace it and shoot it. If I cannot find it or it breaks, who cares - it's an extra junk arrow. I'm happy about this development, as it eliminates ONE downside for me of the xbow, and I really want to like the xbow. So thank you. :) [/QUOTE]
