[QUOTE="edge, post: 536593, member: 5030"] Two years ago NJ allowed xbow for all archery seasons. I initially bought a Stryker xbow @ 405 fps. The cables and string did not last long, it was huge and awkward ( IMO ) so I sold it on ebay. I now have a Horton Vision which is about 300+fps and very narrow, under 20 inches axle to axle. Being a reverse draw design it is very well balanced. It is tough on servings due to extreme string angle. [url]http://www.hortonarchery.com/resources/1/images/VisionAerial.jpg[/url] I am up in the air as far as staying with an xbow. They tend to be heavy, wide ( think about width if you hunt from a treestand and need to shoot behind you ). Most are tough on strings ( the string drags on the rail with MOST xbows ) and also most need a device to cock the bow due to heavy draw weights. I am seriously considering using my vertical bow with a draw locking device.....not 100% sure yet.
