Down here in the swamps of Florida you never know what may stagger out the swamps....gators, 300+ lb hogs, big foot...swamp thing?! take no chances hahaha Honestly, my reason is....just because haha. Ive always wanted to try one out, I like shooting heavy arrows and I figured im more than capable of handling the extra weight on the limbs and being that with the increased weight I'm able to attach and shoot a telephone pole from my bow...then why not? haha.
