How about if we present the debate this way... The archery season is replaced totally by a cross bow season. Then we can argue whether or not the recurve, longbow and compound can be used during cross bow season. No my original question is not dumb at all. You desperately want it to be dumb because it exposes that you have no legitamate argument against xbowuse in the archery season. Like I said, as far as I'm concerned you've clearly lost the debate. In fact I'd say you really haven't even shown up for it. No disrespect intended, I do understand you just don't want it around you but I just don't see that you've presented any legitamate argument.
