RE: Elitist attitude
"It's simply that crossbows are not bows, and do not belong in thearchery season"
This is very little other than an unsupported opinion and a clear statement of the "MY season!" attitude of the anti crossbow crowd. The definition of a bow (as stated many times before) has nothing to do with the ability to hold it drawn or the length of time it can be held that way. A crossbow is a bow...deal with it (and I will even go so far as to say the "bow plus" comment is not that far off). You of course are entitled to your opinion. This is very similar to a theological debate. You "believe" one thing, I "believe" another. The problem with "beliefs" is when facts about crossbows and their impact on hunting are presented that contradictthose "beliefs" then all people do is fall back on "its not a bow!" Ihonestly feel sorry for you that you feel so threatend and sincerelywish that all that energythat these "bowhunting orgaizations" are putting into thisimagined threat could be put to better use...say against the anti-HUNTERS for example...
