Vertical Crossbow

[UPSMAN]

Have any of you guys seen the YouTube video of the vertical crossbow. It was on a show called Twang & Bang. Thoughts & opinions?

I believe the bow is the Hickory Creek. Does look like a Cool Concept!

Firstly....Dang its fugly lol
Secondly it would make me nervous to have a limb springing open directly in front of my face, though I did read it can turn into a horizontal also.

I think it would be like switching to writing with my left hand - unnatural. I would likely get a thumb in the string travel path because it is so different.

My first thought is that its different for sure but in the video he had the thing resting on the cam ...now if he layed it the other way to hard it would bump the scope to much I think and that wouldn't be good.
I don't think I like the fact that there are left and right handed models, That may make resale a hard sale.
I would love to shoot one but not own one and it makes me think, How many shots would it take to break one.
A crossbow should stay horizontal that's why they are call crossbows.JMO

Hickory Creek Inline crossbow are a hoot. I got one and love it.Deadly accurate and nothing else as quite.Trigger is amazing too.Jerry builds a great xbow and the machining in top notch.

Yup its an odd lookin Bow fer sure, but that could be said fer half dz i have seen past fer yrs. Almost $900 is way out of my budget fer a tick toter killer. My Mrs would probably do that to me if'en i spent 4 months of our food money
