I’m an archer at heart tore my bicep and tricep ligament 2 years ago still not back into archery. My only option is shooting a kids bow. my next archery hunt coming up should be lope (13 points) Shooting a kids bow to 70yds is my only option. And I’m not putting in for rifle lope and not sitting water. Spot and stalk archery lope is the best hunt out there. I don’t think I would ever pick up a crossbow but don’t close the door on it becuase other people abuse it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I guess that’s all been perverted as well Been perverted. What’s that supposed to mean? Guys sitting in their vehicles spanking their monkey? I have a crossbow permit ( now worthless) due to ruined shoulders. I used that hateful contraption for one archery cow tag . It was the most annoying thing to lug around, and then blew up on my shot opp. Sold it on for a huge loss. I’m fine with gun hunting now. Early archery hunts are way more fun than later gun hunts tho. Even cow hunts with rut activity are more exciting and productive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
