I love to shoot both. I have an APA viper that is fun to shoot. When it comes to hunting my excaliburs are what gets most of my attention.

I shoot recurves and longbows and went to the crossbow due to a shoulder injury,thought I never would but I have really enjoyed learning about the xbow and shooting them. I hope to go back to traditional cause I shoot a lot of 3d but I will always make time for a stoll with the matrix 330.
I turn to TC pistols when gun season comes in.I love my .444,.500 encore,357Herrett,7-30 waters etc.They are fun to reload and take big game..Just can't get enough of the outdoors...

Danny = twohats. Man after my own heart. CT encores. 445 supermag and 41 GNR #2.

as far as bow. All cross bows. Vertical bows just became Boringly too easy and lost interest. The crossbow made me interested again. I could leave my vert bow and not shoot it for 8 months pick it up and be dead on. So much for the YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE ALL THE TIME TO BE GOOD crap that I hear for why crossbows shouldn't be allowed. Just let me shoot what I want without having to be questioned. You know what you could of done the same thing with your vertical bow too. Had nothing to do with your using a crossbow.

I have not shot a deer with my crossbow that I couldn't of done the exact same with a vertical bow.

Tired of these conversations.

...hey, a query just dawned on me....If you hunt with an Excalibur while laying on a cot...shooting on your side...is that now considered a vertical cross bow or is it still a horizontal crossbow?

Just asking!
