RE: Are crossbows cheating?
Crossbows have been legal for bowhunting up here in Ontario for over 20 years. It has not created any of the problems that the crossbow bashers quote regularly. Everybody gets along fine. The crossbow has no more effective range than a compound, you still need the same hunting skills ( scouting, treestands etc ) and in the end the crossbow does not kill a deer any quicker or slower. The broadhead does the work just like any other bow. Sure they are much easier to master and shoot effectively but whats wrong with making quick humane kills on game ? From a business point of view it gets more customers into the proshops and therefore gives them a better chance of surviving than closing. Up here since Basspro opened shops are closing up not opening. And lastly to spread all kinds of biased and and misinformed information will just give antis ammunition against all of us. If you don't think archery is in thier sights you are naive big time. Lets all get along, the traditional shooters don't go around bashing guys with 80% letoff, releases and fiberoptic sights do they?
