No, not at all. Why, is that the reason you used one for 13 years?
Becuase I didn't want to spend the time and committment on using a trad bow. I didn't want to use a bow that ws maybe 25-30 yard 10" groups when I could get 40-50 yard 3" groups. I didn't want to practice year round. I wanted a bow that was easy, accurate and a compound is made for just that.
Yous use a compound because its easier ? No. Less accurate ? No. harder ? No. More challenging ? No.
You use a compound because of the same reasons we all do/did. If I'm wrong, tell me how

I agree that it may not be a huge difference between a tricked out compound and an xbow, but you have to stop the innovation at some point... Since we know our state would never do away with compounds, we draw the line at xbows...
There might be truth to that, however, with declining hunting numbers and you've already said ya'll can't kill enough deer, not much difference in thenew compoundsand crossbows ........ open the door just a bit more why don't you ?
Compounds were allowed back when they were 50% letoff and not much better than recurves. My how things have changed. If todays bows were what were back in the 1970's compounds would never have been allowed.
We look at Georgia and Alabama, who just recently let xbows into archery season.. Their numbers have declined while ours have stayed level..... How much is attributable to the xbox? We can't say for sure, but our states are very similar and the only change has been the xbow....
email me that info, I'd be curious to read it - I thought the fear on crossbows allowed would mean MORE bowhutners by the thousands ? Thats isn't true ?
You don't think they will take your archery season?
its never happened before why would it now ?
showed a declining trend in hunter numbers since allowing the xbow in
Which is it ? Allowed crossbows means fewer hunters - that would NOT lead to "taking your archery season" would it ? I'm confused, you're making a case that crossbows don't lead to any more hunters, then right around and saying that you fear allowing them would shorten your seasons ??
?????
in Mississippi can you bowhunt during rifle and muzleloader seasons ?
The UnitedBowhunters of PA fought the good fight and lost the Xbow in archery season[:@]
how many days of archery season have you lost because of it ? how much decrease in tag numbers based only on crossbows being allowed ?
