Hi! I've been hunting off and on for approximately 7 years. Had a few off years in there when I had babies/or hugely pregnant. Until this coming season I've hunted with compound. I've loved it, and I've also shot competition archery. This year I decided to sell my compound and my husband gifted me a Barnett Raptor crossbow. I'm pretty excited about hunting with it this fall. It's small and compact so as a smaller framed woman it fits me well, and it hits hard and is fast. Thanks for having me here, I'm looking forward to learning more Happy hunting
