Episode 129:
In this humdinger of an episode, Tim & Mike discuss wether or not Crossbows have taken over compound bows in the archery industry. Statistics show that crossbow kills now account for more deer kills than vertical bows in many of the top whitetail states.

Crossbow hunting has been met with a great deal of opposition (especially from Mike), but numbers are real. Nearly 70% of archery kills are via crossbows.
