Some might say, “go big or go home,” when it comes to the hunting gear they use. But rarely does that apply to the size of the crossbow in their hands. For a time, there was a big push in the speed race among crossbow manufacturers. These days, however, it seems to be more about the compact nature of these sophisticated weapons.
Why would a hunter want a smaller, more compact crossbow in the deer woods? The video below with Justin Zarr gives a look at the advantages of a compact crossbow.
Why Compact Crossbows Work So Well
Perfect For Kids – Smaller weapons, be it a bow, crossbow, or gun, simply work better for kids or smaller framed shooters. They can handle them with less hassle and frustration.
More Maneuverable – The small, compact size of these crossbows make them more maneuverable in the blind or treestand when positioning for the shot.
Packability – The weight savings with a compact crossbow makes them a game changer compared to the crossbow on the shelf 10 years ago. They are much easier to carry in hand or on your back, weighing in at a fraction of the weight we’ve seen in the past.
Performance Without the Bulk – Compact crossbow can still deliver all the performance and speed you could possibly want, yet in a much smaller package. Speeds of 440-460 FPS are the norm these days, even in the compact designs you’ll find from leading crossow manufacturers like TenPoint.
