I started bow hunting about 1985 using a compound. shot elk bear and deer with it. Had an accident in 95 that resulted in several years of no bow hunting then tried a crossbow with a permit. Have shot 4 elk with it so far and it will kill them. I keep my distances short all under 30 yds. Very hard to travel thru heavy bush with though and a bugger to carry. Keeps getting caught on branches and stuff.
not like the bow you you can wiggle thru anything with. I would love to still use the compound but at least I can still get out for the extra time in the bow season.
