Yup agreed though I got rid of my full size crossbow I still have three pistol x bows and a cabine x bow plus my compound bows and my recurve kit.
Hoping to buy a Korean bow in april.

For personal protection, from GOM's original post, you'd have to carry the bow with you at all times. Surely that's illegal?

It is not too hard top cock though, the Jaguar is held down by the foot, so you can use two hands on it,... just remember to keep your fingers tips away from that drawn wire
