[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 350065, member: 2736"] I am a long time bow hunter and in Texas it has not been legal to use a crossbow for game animals in the past unless you could get a doctor to give you a disability pass allowing you to use one. But now they are legal except in certain counties during bow season and in all counties during regular rifle season. I don't know much about crossbows and maybe some of the members that live in states that have allowed the use of crossbows for a while can help with the type of crossbow that would be best. I would think that the compound type would be better simply because they store more energy and have a longer draw. also the use of a compound type should allow you to use longer arrows with less spine . Most of the compound crossbows are centered and do not touch the string like the re curve ones do and should not wear the string as much. I would recomend talking to a reputable archery shop and find out as much as possible before purchasing one. As I said I have never used one but someday I may have to and it would be nice to know more about them. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
