Crossbow
Been using the crossbow for 4 years now , Excalibur 380 matrix
I shot PSE compound for over 30 years and loved the adventure and the skills required to do become and efficient shooter .
My crossbow is heavy ,takes effort to pull , if you cant pull a compound i would recommend a crossbow with a wind up cocking mechanism .
They are hard to pull with a hand drawn cocking rope at 250 lbs or better .
The bolts fly way faster and go through an animal like a hot knife through butter which usually means a ,lost bolt even with lighted knocks i lose many a year . with a broadhead and lighted bolt its about 50 buck a shot .
Some crossbows do not have a manual decock and require you to shoot the bolt which is a pain and hard on the gear in my opinion . Excalibur has decoking ability . Ten point NOT . Also i would suggest the Micro recurve over anything with pulleys as you can change the string in the field on a recurve , compound is not so easy .
Always use the rail lube as well and keep the string well waxed as they aren't cheap when the burn off from the rail rub.
Just my 2 cents .
