I am in total shock! A crossbow thread that didn't turn nasty or became an excuse to bash others.

I feel pretty much the way the others do. I personally would not want to use one, but if it's legal and you want to go for it it's no skin off my back.

A lot of people argue they are too easy to use and learn to shoot accurately. I agree to a point, but they still take some practice and you need to know the weapons limitations. They are not magical killing machines that wipe out the deer herd. And I don't think it's a problem if they are a bit easier to shoot well with. I would prefer that to someone using a bow because they thought it was more macho and never practiced with it. Slob hunters will be slob hunters regardless of the weapon they use.

If you want to hear opinions on Crossbows though just type it into the search engine. There are a ton of threads about them. I don't think we need a thread with the sole intention of strirring the pot so to say. Especially when there are already so many that exist already.
