Maybe I've just watched too many zombie themed shows in the last year or maybe I really do need a crossbow. I already have a decent collection of guns but with recent shortages of ammo, I've started to consider the idea of a crossbow for range fun and possibly a hog or deer hunt. In my teenage years, I owned a couple of compound bows and really enjoyed time at an indoor range. IIRC, you couldn't legally hunt deer with a crossbow unless you had an upper body impairment back then. From what I have read on TXPWD's website, anyone can during the general open season now.
I could probably be talked into buying another compound bow but I think I would appreciate the power and gun-like feel of a crossbow. I'm looking to stay in the $500 range for the bow itself. I am also hoping to find one that stays at or above 300 fps. Anyhow, it would be great to hear from any experienced bow hunters out there as well as any crossbow fans. Please talk me into one !
