Already have a couple bows......... Not a cross bow though. I own a compound and a recurve..... Still you can lose arrows...easy enough. I've done it....at $10 or more an arrow...plus a $10 or more per broadhead...it gets expensive to lose or break arrows. HA!!

Your point is well taken. What I was getting at is that in a prolonged SHTF or TEOTWAWKI you will want to be frugal with your ammo. Bows and arrows are silent and will not give away your position when you are hunting game. Of course they are handy when taking out sentries, but we won't go into that on a public forum.

A nice .22 long rifle with a suppressor...is a pretty good deal too!!

A wrist rocket type slingshot is pretty good also. With shot it is very accurate and absolutely lethal. When you run out of shot - rocks work pretty well, and you may well NEVER run out of rocks (although your rubber bands will eventually fray - especially if you leave it out in the sun).

Good for taking out guard dogs and sentries silently - also for small game.
