I will never understand why hunting with a cross bow offends so many people. Rifleman can stand 500 yards or more from their game and drop it with no problem and no one blinks an eye including myself. Yet if you take the same animal from 30 yards with a cross bow you somehow have an un-fair advantage. I just don’t get it.
This is what I always hash over and just can't understand it. You said it perfectly!! I think everyone is getting upset because for the longest time it was just a problem isolated to Ohio and Arkansas and was small enough to just brush off and dismiss. Now that other states are getting on board I think it is to the point where it is starting to cut into their profits (the bow makers) they are going to start fighting hard. I would bet money that some of the bow makers are donating money to some of the groups like peta to stop the spread of us!!
