[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5594084, member: 10373"] Another consideration is the cocking and decocking. It very awkward to carry a cocked crossbow. I chocolate chip cookie my at the base of my tree and decock at the bottom for transporting through the woods. If I see a deer otw in or out I could recock it as the cocking rope stays on the bow but that’s a lot of movement to shoot a deer at less than 50 yds at eye level. Another consideration is the width of the bow. My Excalibur is very wide which is a pain navigating through thick timber. I have to turn it vertical to get through the brush. Also, the limbs could contact the tree once you’re up at height if you must twist too much for a good shot. The narrower bows have an advantage here. So there are pros and cons for most any Xbow. All in all, I still prefer what I’ve got. But, I’ve been with the same girl for 50 years too. If you get my drift. [/QUOTE]
