You guys who luckily can still use a compound (wish I still could). JMHO Enjoy whatever you decide be safe and have successful season. A xbow would be easier to crawl with than a compound bow, but thats not the voice of experience talking here, I am not crawling on the ground in NC during bow season, seen to many venomous fanged critters ! An ethical archery hunter even with a xbow is still going to keep their shots in that up close and personal distance, regardless of how accurate it is out to farther yardages. If your into still hunting versus stand, as with a firearm be aware of where your pointing the business end. With a xbow as stated its a short site in time, but you should still practice with it as often as you can. To be proficient with a compound bow as noted you need the time and place to practice. This topic should not be a Politically correct issue ! it should be a matter of choice and time.
#Compound crossbow vs crossbow pro#
I have been shooting archery for 50 yrs, even worked in a pro shop a time or two and shot for Browning and then Bear many moons ago. Good luck, whatever you decide.ġ00 yard shots with a xbow ? Not with mine, I have no choice but to use a xbow due to being a DAV. The learning curve is not as steep for sure, but there will be intricacies about your crossbow that will only become second nature to you by shooting it over and over. If you elect to go the crossbow route though, I would advise you to practice as much as you can with it. You'll likely be more successful and have a lower risk of making bad shots and marginal hits. You can become proficient with it much quicker and easier. On the other hand, if you can't or won't commit to putting in the time and energy required to become a proficient archery hunter, then buy yourself a crossbow. If you're good enough with it on the range and feel you can perform as well in the heat of the moment, then hunt with it. My advice to anyone trying to choose between a compound bow or a crossbow is this: If you like archery and have the time to practice, get a compound bow and become proficient with it. So for me.I want the deer 40 yards and in.and preferably 20. As with compounds, long shots are risky.too many bad things can happen to ruin the outcome. It's still a close-up game, in my opinion. It has a little bit different "feel" than using a compound.both literally and emotionally, but I enjoy hunting with it every bit as much. Whenever I hunt solo, I just grab the Tenpoint and hit the woods. I really just don't miss it as much as I thought I would. I considered it a sacrifice and was sure I would buy another compound asap. When they made crossbows legal several years back, I knew my wife would enjoy hunting with one and so I sold my beloved Mathews to fund the purchase of a Tenpoint. I thoroughly enjoyed bowhunting with a compound for over 35 years.
