Is a compound bow better than a crossbow for deer hunting?

Hi
how are you doing
Is a compound bow better than a crossbow for deer hunting?
What you guys thing

 

In what aspect are you referring? Distance=XB due to it let's you use a scope
Impact= XB due to it's higher draw weight , FPS
Accuracy= XB due again to ability to use a scope
Safety= debatable I'm not a fan of cocking a weapon on the ground and lifting or lowering it with it without a bolt in it
Training= XB when people take kids, their wife's, and the handicapped out to hunt they don't put a compound in their hand.

But please remember, at this point Pope and Young doesn't recognize XB as a Bow.

I don't care what anyone uses as long as they are out hunting. But as for myself, I refuse to use a XB until age or injury dictates I must.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

This is bait

 

I'll play ..........well, let me say this .. those crossthingys do NOT belong in any archery/BOW season, they are shot in the same matter as a rifle, slug gun or Muzzleloader, they are shoulder fired and are constantly 'cocked' and ready to shoot ... with a BOW, you must draw and hold in the presence of game which is the challenge ... those crossthings are tough to shoot off hand, and easy as crap to shoot off a bench or shooting stik ... I despise those crossthingys and even on deaths doorstep, I will never use one... NEVER ... an argument can be made for handicapped/elderly and youth using crossthingys, but as for a healthy person able to draw a bow, put them (crossthingy's) in a season with the rest of the shoulder fired weapons ...

I would say a crossbow is better than a compound for hunting.

 

Stick them where the sun doesn't shine. Unless disabled. They make low poundage bows.

 

I’ve been sending letters to my senator every day for 3 years to outlaw EVERY type of weapon other than crossbows for hunting

I figured trolling trolls was fair game?

Sorry if my sarcasm didn’t come through clear enough in that post if you’re serious

 

Sorry, long day. But I have seen crazier on this place. Carry on sir

Hey some years I'd go deerless if it weren't for my tiny x bow season.. we have doe that walk around literally looking up...I have night pics of them doing this. I've had them actually tip over side ways to avert an arrow. Everyone here bow hunts. Then you have the good areas close to houses that a x bow allows me to hunt without having a deer either taken before recovery or permissions is not allowed. They just do not run as far. So that small amount of time before the Orange army completely shuts day movement down to long range rifle poke and hope, which happens a lot, is a freezer saver .
I love my compound and the challenge of it. That said this isn't a sport for me it's meat hunting not horn hunting,though I will choose an older buck when possible.
I see NOTHING WRONG with horn hunting, just not really my thing.

 

I resisted…..

 

thanks for the d
