Here in Michigan only a few people are able tyo use a cross bow and that is handicap , someone 50 or older , or with a doctors excuse saying your fiscally disabled do to hart or other ailments .
So I fall into the 50 and over range so I am able to hunt with a cross bow and i have an 80 pound draw Bernnet I haven't really killed anything but Rabbits with this just playing around but i have to say for a inexpensive bow it is accurate. I do Regular bow hunt as well

Yeah there is phoney people out there no matter what you do this is why it is harder to get the permit for something if one needs one .

Ive always said I'd never use one but as I age and am looking at maybe having to use one in the next decade or so the idea of giving up archery hunting for my principles is failing. Ive never hunted deer with one but we did build them as kids and hunted birds and little varmints. Illinois the age is 62 or being unable to draw a 40lb bow a certain distance. There are advantages to a horizontal bow but only big one I can think of is not having to draw the bow and either hold it or wait for a deer to present a good shot. I do get busted every year trying to draw my compound on a deer. I miss my stickbows for that reason. Very few deer can duck an arrow from my recurves etc as the draw and fire is all in one motion. My exFIL had a crossbow permit and it never had more effective range then any of our vertical hunting bows. It even lacked the effective range of a few of our buddies who shot ultra high draw weights .
