[QUOTE="Sniper John, post: 1174016, member: 8580"] I just noticed he/you said selling to buy a Tac15. Be sure you handle one first. They are just a tad under 4 ft long and heavy. Though lighter and shorter than a Tac15, I tried an old heavy barnett last year for a couple hunts just for grins. I ended up putting it away again for my compound. I did not feel comfortable holding my crossbow steady enough free hand due to the weight. I had always shot it before from a sitting position or from a rest. For any lenght of time, it was much easier for me to hold my compound steady at full draw. Hunting from an elevated position or from a blind the advantage of not having to draw is a mute point. That Tac15, you may find you will need a rest to accurately shoot it considering it's length and weight. If I buy a new crossbow it will by a short light one. Otherwise related to how I hunt with a bow, a heavy long crossbow would be a major disadvantage for me over a compound I found out. [/QUOTE]
