#1-How long can I leave my crossbow drawn(cocked)? A full day of hunting, or only a few minutes while stalking a deer?
#2-What are the chances of a dry fire causing limb damage (well, I have seen this one adressed, but still not quite sure what to expect)?
#3-I have constantly heard that crossbows are not as flat shooting as compound bows. How can this be possible? The fastest compounds get IBO speeds of about 315, using a 350 grain arrow, while the exomax gets ABOUT 350 fps with the same weight arrow. (I read the thread where the max was tested with a chronograph. You guys take this pretty seriously!

I've been keeping tabs on this forum ever since I became interested in crossbows. You guys really know your stuff. I think this forum one of the things that makes excalibur crossbows the best out there.

PS: I'm new to internet forums, so my post format may be a little messed up to start with.
