[QUOTE="dsa5455, post: 4766479, member: 8606"] I'm guessing you mean recurve bow not crossbow. I guess if you were in the field and a cable came off or you accidentally cut your bow string than yes the recurve bow would be considered more dependable. A back up string a couple of shots and you are on your way. I have a Matthews MQ1 compound bow that I purchased in 2001. Never had either of the issues listed above happen to me. I have not bow hunted in 3-4 years but feel that I could practice a few days and be confident enough to make a 15-20 yard shot with the compound. Not sure I could do that with a recurve so for me the reliability factor would be more about accuracy unless you had a lot of time to practice with your recurve. [/QUOTE]
