Default Re: cross bows

Didn't say impossible. Just much harder. With my 150 pound compound, I just put the butt in my chest and pull back to cock it. I can shoot about 10 shots per minute at the range.

I don't think that kind of reloading speed is possible with a cocking aid, crank, or any other kind of device.

My point was that if he is going to just target shoot, there is little reason to shoot a recurve. They are no more accurate. Just faster and quieter. Those attributes are great for hunting, but unnecessary for target shooting.
