Not an expert by any measure, but though I don't Robin Hood the first one with the second one, they're real close neighbors. Over the years I've picked up a couple of decent compounds and a really nice 45lb recurve, which I always go back to. I have a cheap crossbow to play with until I can learn enough to select one intelligently. I can certainly see some brownshirts being surprised in the wrong circumstances. If they're going to bite it off, I want to see them chew it.
