I've seen grown men think they were still in the 20's and get a 70# bow and after a few weeks they are not able to even shoot a bow again. The number one reason people shoot x bows is they are not able to shoot a compound or traditional bow.
I think a large population of X-bow shooters are just lazy.
I bought my 70 year old uncle a X-bow because he cannot physically pull a bow back due to several shoulder and neck surgeries. someone like him has no other choice and I applauded guys like that for trying
but I see a lot of guys who are out of shape, physically unable to pull a 60# bow so they automatically move to a crossbow with a scope and proclaim themselves archers, instead of getting their back muscles conditioned to be able to pull back a bow
