DD1, sounds like ya got a little spoiled rifle huntin. I'm bettin you'll really like the x bow. I got my first one last yr and can hit pretty consistently at 40 yrds which is double what I used to limit myself to with a compound. I used to shoot instinctively and now have a scope (world of difference, like shootin squirrels with an open sight 22 vs a 22 with a 3x9). Having to put down the book, quit figiting and wizzing out of your stand will make the challenge of the hunt much tougher and rewarding. I've always said one with a bow is better than two with the gun. When ya have to let em get close enough ta hear em breath the adrenaline really rushes. Have fun!! I doubt ya depend on Venison ta survive and if ya do ya can piss, spit, read and fidget during gun and still fill the fridge. Good huntin to all!
