i looked at buying a crossbow it seems there alittle more then bows

mossbergman11

wat is better to start off with do u think and easier to use because i dont have much tiime to practice a lot?

Compound! Take time to practice!

thats the problem i dont got time to practice

Schultzy

If your going to bow hunt the bottom line is you need to practice. There's to many things to go wrong on a bow and arrow not to practice here and there. If you don't want to put the time in then buy a crossbow, make sure there legal in your state before you buy one. The guys tell me there pretty easy to figure out.

i have the same problem with practicing but i do not have anyplace close to do it

i would go with a bow but a crossbow will give you higher poundage and easy to hold and aim how often can you practice

mossbergman11

will maybe once a week because im in high school i got cross country and social activities and track nad swimming every day

bigtim6656

i see no proplem with once a week but get out there as much as you can and there is always the summer
i wuld get a compound and just jump in two feet
good luck and if you need anything feel free to let me know
