Pete53, I hear you. I'm only 3 years behind you. Same situation, Been deer hunting all my life. I fell and broke both of my wrist's last year. My bow hunting days are over. I really enjoy bow hunting. Last year I bought a Ravin 29. It shoots as accurate as a rifle at 50 yds. That's as far as I have shot it. That's plenty far enough for me. I prefer to shoot at 20 - 30 yds. I know the Xbow is capable of much greater distances, But it is a lot more fun getting close to a nice buck.
