I just picked up a crossbow (Excalibur Micro 340 TD) for my 13 year old daughter. She wants to hunt with dad and in the states we hunt, Wyoming and Nebraska, a crossbow makes the most sense.

Holy crap is this thing awesome! I just put it together today and can't wait to get it all sighted in. Such a simple machine.

I know that state laws vary widely, but in WY and NE, they're considered archery equipment and no special qualification is needed for their use. It has me thinking about taking it into the backcountry this fall.

I love hunting and competing with a vertical compound and want to get a trad bow soon, but I'm really impressed with what this little x-bow can do. It's not nearly as clunky and awkward as I expected, and had read about in several places. I'm surprised I don't read more about them around here.

Anybody with much experience hunting the backcountry with a crossbow?
