Groundpounder mount

compound vs recurve

OMG! My exocet is a monster. I put the scope on it today and I didnt even have to adjust anything. Being 6'2" tall I still find I have to shorten the cocking string to get it cocked. i am thinking it is just my bad elbow and shoulder, but once shortened not a problem. My compound crossbow does ...

The problem i have found with the dip is that it is thick and if you dont thin it down right you get big air bubbles on them. How bad do the wraps wear from shooting? ...
