[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 1624903, member: 2292"] Any compound worth its salt has an anti-dry fire device, so this is not a worry. So long as you don't take a worn out string into the field, shooting a compound is no more unreliable than a recurve. I am sure nobody wants to take any crossbow into the field with a worn string. Granted it is easier to change the string on a recurve, but a trip to the archery shop every 3-5 years (TenPoints reccomendation) is pretty simple too! How often does something unexpected happened to a good string in the field?? Rarely, is my opinion. To me its worth the every third year "hassle" to replace a string and get a quiter more compact bow. I realize its still makes some "nervous" that something might happen, and thats fine too. Really its just up to the individual to decide. [/QUOTE]
