[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1170270, member: 7123"] You nailed it on the head, Dennis. And lookit it guys, make no mistake about it, an xbow or string hold device most certainly gives you a marked advantage - NOT because it makes you more accurate necessarily (though it does a little bit potentially), but because of the all-important facts that (a) first and foremost, you no longer have to MOVE (draw) after you see the game - that's what's the most difficult about bow hunting is waiting for the game to look away or go behind brush so you can draw without being seen (or heard for that matter, if your bow squeaks or your arrow falls off the rest, etc.), and (b) you can hold without shaking as long as you need to, instead of just a minute or so. On my bow deer last year, I had held, and held, and held, and held - waiting for that deer to take just ONE more step. I was shaking like a madman due to muscle fatigue - luckily it was only a 13 yard shot and easy to make even shaking like that. Incredible advantage a crossbow is - but not really because of accuracy issues, or really even range issues. Yes it offers more range, but a good hunter can get the game to come by very close most of the time, with woodsmanship skills - setting up by trails, etc. I suspect H&H may sell a LOT of those Tac-15s and Tac-10s in the next 6 months!
