LOL ,I went back and did an edit on my post for ya, it now says, You knowa Gunlooks, and is shot like a crossbow
.
Now thats a new approach from crossbow hunters, if you cant have your way (the hole 90 day season in my state), take it allaway!
I kind of Figured you had one of those modern day Bolt launchers you were notshowing us.
Question: Is a handicap hunter allowed to hunt with a crossbow in your state archery season?
Fact is, I know it, you know it, and everyone on this forum knows that it takes no archery skills to shoot a crossbow!
that there is the dumbest statement i have ever read. with your logic it thus takes no skill to shoot any firearm or any other bow for that matter, compound all you do is pull it back and touch off the trigger of your release.
Oh really? I did not say that, You made an assumption! Lets see I have been on the MC pistol team, the 3rd MD skeet and trap team,shot the 1,000 yard range at Quantico, even helped write an SOP on shooting, Been shooting competitive Archery off and on for 40 years now, have shot a 300 with a recurve and fingers, 300/60X with compound, and carried a mid 280 average with 72# traditional hunting equipment on a league, and yes I have even shot a crossbow.So I think I have a pretty goodunderstanding of shooting in general.
Now I have to make an assumption, I assume you are or was a 300 shooter, I mean seeings how you think all you have to to is yank the string back on a compound and tuch that trigger of on the release and that arrow goes right in the bulls eye or a deers heart!
Since you think my statement was the dumbest you ever herd, here is your chance to shine bob.
Post us a list of archery skills it takes to shoot a crossbow that are not the same as shooting a Rifle! And taking the bolt out of the quiver does not count!
i hope none of you naysayers ever get hurt or disabled to the point that you cannot use a compound bow
