I'm primarily a recurve shooter and have been since the 90's. I killed 3 deer beyond 50 yds back then with a compound and never picked one up again. As I aged, I couldn't pull back the recurve (62#) I had hunted with for 20yrs without pain. I then got a x-bow and had a hoot killing hogs with it and still do. I killed 17 pigs last year with various weapons. I took a nice buck a couple yrs. back with x-bow but have since got a lighter recurve to get back to my passion. I like shooting and you must practice more with recurves and longbows. But when scouting new areas or stalk hunting, I like the x-bow except for the weight. Best part about the x-bow is like OKRuss said, they're like a rifle. Tune and hunt, check zero occasionally but mostly there is little practice needed.</blockquote>
