I am doing my best to explain, but maybe my words are not coming out right. When you ask why and then say the above statement that you chose archery because I like the challenge, up close. ect... you say to me and others that a crossbow is not worthy of being called archery. I for one find that as a insult, plain and simple. By saying it is not archery is a lie. If you want to have a category that is for archery that by definition it would have to be for long bows only. If for what ever your reason my method of launching a arrow is not archery then you must also admit a compound is not archery. All the fiber optic sights, 80% let off, you have a trigger just like me and they now even offer red dot scopes for compound's. That one line I feel is a form of segregation and ones self of thinking you are better then others. That statement implies that I have no skill and none is needed to shoot a deer with a CB. The only advantage I have over you is I do not have to draw on a up close deer. But that is the only advantage I feel I have over you.



When you say Good, you are admitting how you truly feel about the CB crowd. Again, I said my lip curls because you insult the CB crowd by saying your method is more worthy then mine. I will only take crap from one crowd and that is the traditional crowd. That takes alot of time and skill IMO. They are the only ones that can say they are doing it the hard way. A modern Compound is only a light shade of gray behind a CB with all the technology you guys have on them.
