Let's discuss this on AT.
OK...

MA Jay, you are correct when you state that 60% of all archery kills are with crossbows.

HOWEVER.....58% of all archers use crossbows, and they kill 2% more than their verticle bow counterparts comparatively.

This is still a misleading number because the other 42% of bowhunters include traditional in with compound users.

This group using both compounds and traditional bows accounts for 40% of all archery deer taken.

No matter how hard you WANT those figures to prove that crossbows are some magical weapon, giving the user a huge advantage........it just is not there.

Crossbows will not be the end of civilization.....
