I will clarify though, when one ask I say bow hunt. If they want details I will say crossbow. I am lucky as to live in the great state of OHIO and the CB has been let loose for thirty years now and is widely accepted as a form of bow hunting. The place I work at has about maybe six or seven CB users and about four or five compound/longbow users, so I am lucky and it is well accepted in my area. Some states it is taboo and the CB guy has to almost be in the closet, and thus their can be alot of tension in the subject and the then fallout of the seperation. I think you like I or maybe you have always been doing itDon have been trying real hard to not let the name calling get started at least on my end and advoid thoes threads when they arise. No matter how much we may feellike its the whole long bow community against us I have realizedthat its only a few people that truely wish to ride us like a stick pony and the majority of the guys could care less. Just like its a few guys on here that are makeing us all look like punks to the long bow community. And I dont say a few guys in a bad way, but when the post get out of hand even when you may or may not be in the right it only hurts the cause. I think it was lemoyne said if your not carefull you end up with a mouth full of s**t if you eat to much. But if thats what I have to do in order to further our acceptance with the long bow community then so be it, HNI Cristine did alot of work to get us this forum and I would like to see it accepted and looked at in a good way! Sorry don for a no post thread, but I had to say it.
