My Horton has a 150-lb pull, and it doesn't nearly cut my fingers off cocking it. The guy needs to either grow a set of ba**s, or put on a dress.
While I've never shot anyone with it, zombie or otherwise, it's a great silent hunting tool, making it possible to stay ready to go at a moment's notice, without killing your shoulder holding a bow draw. After TSHTF, my crossbow will be great for procuring meat; it's reliable, accurate and silent.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Good points!
