why do you look down on
crossbows, a bow is a bow, you shouldnt be looking down on what others like, but you should be trying to keep hunting going.
Right ?
You as a compounder look down on crossbows because they aren't the same type weapon you use. I can look down at compounds for EXACTLY the same reasons you look down on crossbows, can't I ?
you said that compounds are just a wee bit easier then crossbows, your so wrong their a crossbow is alot easier, it dosnt take the fine tuning like a compound does, and with a crossbow there really isnt form like with a compound or trad bow,
have you shot crossbows ? They are not weapons that need supertuned, but they don't auto-shoot either. The simplist bow to tune is a recurve, the hardest is a compound IMO. Form with a compound ? LOL ....... hold the pin where you want it and pull the trigger - c'mon I shot compounds for 12+ years, i KNOW the differnces.
a compound is easier, but not everyone has the time to put in to trad archery, l
I can say I don't have time to shoot a compound (that you say is so much harder to shoot right ? ) and therefore I need the crossbows -
Like me i am just a kid, i dont have every minute for that i have school, work, my truck, all of these things, so a compound would be better, and bow hunting is bowhunting,
crossbows would be better for the same reasons, right ?
trad hunting is like a .410 you have to be able to get a deer in closer and you have to be able to make the shot, the compound is like a 12 ga. alot more range, and is easier to hit a deer with, both are still hard to do.
Crossbows in the field give you no more range, they truely don't. I've hunted a dozen states for whitetails, antelope, muleys, black bear, elk, turkey ....... from praries in SD to the Rockies in Colorado to the red bluffs of NM to the farmland of Kansas.
recurve / longbow / compound / crossbows the ranges of shots really never mattered much. 20-30 yards is archery range. The weapon and what its capable of though ....... that REALLY changes the moment of truth when you're ready to release an arrow.
Crossbows and compounds make it so much easier. Its not a gimme, but i can tell you straight up that if you take a crossbow hunting next fall, you'll have no more P&Y bucks within 20 yards because of it. You MIGHT find an easier shot by having that crossbow, but so too is a compound giving that same easy
