I am new to the forum. I live in VA. I have been a hunter for 10 years now and using archery tacle for about 6 of those. I switched to a crossbow when an old shoulder enjury came back to haunt me with a doe in my compounds sights. Last year i bought a PSE sequoia long bow to build up that shoulder again. this year i bought back my old compound and the crossbow hasn't left the house yet this season. On columbus day I got my first deer with the compound (profile pic) and i am taking the long bow out every once in a while also. Alex
