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.

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

I have one of these,.. but I did remove the scope off it, couldn't get on with that, I prefer the open sight

RE: personal security
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
