[QUOTE="EastTNHunter, post: 5593053, member: 8364"] Compound crossbows are more compact than recurve crossbows of similar velocity ranges. If you want a truly compact recurve crossbow then you will give up velocity over a similar sized compound. That is up to the shooter/user to decide on. Crossbows are more cumbersome to use than vertical bows, and take longer to reload. If you need to reload with deer in range then you will wish that you had the vertical bow. If a deer comes in right behind your tree then you will wish that you had a vertical bow. Crossbows are also generally more cumbersome to carry through the woods than vertical bows. The differences between compound and recurve crossbows in the woods is incremental, and may not be worth considering the difference to the shooter. [/QUOTE]
