    Definitely a Compound Bow over a crossbow!! I have hunted with a bow for years!! I have both comp. & cross. If your good enough to shoot a bow don't even think about a cross. The crossbow is much louder than a compound and the pounds are not that much more than a compound bow!!
    I shoot 3 different Mathews Comp. bows all shoot 325-335 FPS because I have a short draw length. If you have a longer draw you can get 335-350 FPS.
    A crossbow can on a high side get 325-365 FPS. And your paying $700 - $1100 for the crossbow it self.
    My Mathews loaded are $1100 - $1300 with everything!

    If you wan't to see some cool SH-T check out the PSE TAC-15 for your ar-15 lower!! Upper sells for $1200 but it's SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

    Been shooting traditional archery since about 5yo. Plan on taking them with me if time permits. Got a master Bowyer in the family, works to my advantage.

    You should look up the SlingBow on Youtube, it's awesome, slingshot turned into bow, small to pack and easy to shoot and kill with.

    Sweet idea!! Spear fishing gun shrunk to pack size. I'm going to toy with this. I have an 80lb pistol crossbow I'll compare it to when I make the slingbow.

    bows take alot of skill to use. Fletching is a skill that you can't just hack in the feild. A decent bow setup is the same cost as a legal suppressor without the additional learning curve.

    A cross bow has no learning curve but costs as much as a supressor.

    I have a take down re-curve and a compound... not a primary pack item but there if I need it. The sling bow is cool and far more practical.
