Any Crossbow experts here?

Well im new here but im a keen crossbow enthusiast.For me i prefer the reliability and simplicity of the recurve.One of the best i've seen for sale recently is the Chase Wind 150lb recurve.You can pick one up for under £100.
150lb is powerful enough to take any UK game (when the shtf obviously not before due to the legal no no) not to mention any two legged nasties out there.

Also it's a relatively low stressed bow that's easier to span than some higher poundage ones and will take home made wooden bolts.

I shoot an Exclibur Vixen ll and i've experimented quite a bit with wooden bolts with good success.I'm not personaly a fan of compounds due to their over complexity,also they're not as easy to restring in the field compared to a recurve.Great site btw im learning a lot from everyone here.
