I have hunted my entire life with about everything you can hunt them with. Shot 3D competively for awhile and managed a sporting goods store in Bham. Bow Hunting is my true love. I had to switch to a crossbow after loosing vision in my right eye. Was horrible left handed with a bow. I like my crossbow, but it is so similar to rifle hunting, espescially black powder I don't find it as challenging or satisfying as bow hunting. I loved my bow and was always messing with it, tunng and shooting. My crossbow is to much like a rifle. I pull it out and it will hold a 3 inch group @ 60 yards all day long. At 350 FPS on a 425 grain bolt it will definitely put them down. I personaly do not get the satisfaction from a kill with my crossbow that I did my bow. Every deer with my bow was truly a trophy. I would reccomend bow hunting as long as possible and then when forced switch to a crossbow.
Good Hunting,
