Exactly what is your definition of "elitest"?
LBR - when you think there should be restrictions put on what bows constitute being in archery season, you've started down the path. The more restrictions the more elitist you become
As far as crossbows go, the general premise is they are "primitive", but they aren't archery equipment.
false - archery history was partially written by crossbows. Crossbows have been around for centuries, always relatesd to archery.
They are oft defined as not being allowed in bowhunting season, but they ARE archery
Dont post hear or even read anymore posts until you get out with a draw knife and carve your own self bow, nap your flint, and draw your arrows.
If thats your belief
burniegoeasilyyou can make a good case for it for certain. However, the WAY you shoot your self bow is exactly the same way I shoot my recurve.
Compounds and crossbows are different.
By the way, who cares about P & Y????
what has the P&Y club done for hunting ? Answer that, and you'll know why its important.
I'm not a member, but I DO recognize what they've done.
Wyvern Crossbowyou've drawn a line to include ALL technology in archery season based on that it will not impact archery season lengths, limits etc, am I correct ?
And thats fine, you can explain your reasoning, you reasons why. Its logical, it makes some sense, I can at least see that view
Schultzy do you remember the fractures when compounds were allowed ? When greater than 65% was set ?
Gentlemen, if you can accept inclusion of the modern compound and all it's accompanying gadgetry as archery, then you must also accept the crossbow. An unabashed elitist tells you this. [8D]
Arthur Pvery informative post, very well done.
I also agree with your quote there, if you allow technology, allow it. I don't think it should be allowed to be honest, so I'm on the other side of that line, but its those who scream crossbows are foul and then go shoot their tricked out compounds that befuddle me.
I was just pointing out how P & Y standards are not law or even that important when it comes to my hunting.
who had a hand in implementing many of the rules that states have for their archery season
burniegoeasily? Answer that and you'll understand more the significance of what P&Y club has done
The only times I will get a bit "weapon-biased" is when the numbers of people + the ease of use, can detrimentally impact the length and or quality(read as not crowded) of a hunting season.
rybohunterare we there yet ?
Does it matter the username if the topic is valid ? That I spoke out against canned hunting and was banned changes not this thread or others, does it ?
