text: The hunt itself – well, if you are a bow hunter you know it has rewards and enjoyments that no other form of hunting offers. If you are not a bow hunter, you are missing out on a wonderful and spiritual outdoor experience, and you should try it. This fall.

  I like this. I never shot a crossbow, or a compound bow. My only experience with the whole thing would be signing up for an archery class at Ohio State, where the class was tragically half-way between Lincoln and Morrell Towers. Nothing like pulling back a bow with hundreds of oblivious students on their way to classes they didnt want to take in any case. I once overshot the bullseye by forty yards or so, closer to the students than the target. Had I injured one of the students, I’d like to believe I would have followed the trail of blood to the emergency room and put him down humanely. LOCAL BOY FOLLOWS ‘CODE OF THE FOREST’ IN ER SLAYING.
  Have you tried a light recurve or longbow? When I tore my rotator cuff all I could shoot were stick bows, the compounds just hurt too much mainly because of the let off.
  I found that a 45pound recurve (as feminine as that sounds) coupled with a super heavy hickory shaft will account for pass throughs on deer and even cow elk.
