I should clarify my post from page 1. I suppose it would depend on the reasoning of banning compound bows and traditional bows. If crossbows only were allowed because of reasons that were proven and sound, I would not hunt with my compound.

This question begs me to ask another although it does not belong in the bowhunting forum, but in a sense becomes relative. Making a law to ban compounds and stickbows is like asking a shotgun hunter to give up his semi-automatic shotgun because of a law passed. I just wonder how many would give up their semi-auto shotguns? Same thing to me.
