Gus, I dont care what they shoot, I just care what season they shoot it in, and have never looked down my nose at any one for shooting one.
Why? Are you really that selfish to want to keep people out of the woods for your own agendas? So you are saying we should have a season for compound, traditional and then crossbow? LOL

I have had this discussion with BigJohn and several others befor and the bottom line is, it is shot like a gun, not like a bow, and no one on here is going to change that!
what about the the effective range? the fact it uses limbs and a string to propel an aarow(bolt). Side by side it's more similar with a bow than a gun, but you are still hung up on how it's held...........LOL[&:]
You sure are wanting to twist things up gus, go back and reread my posts and see who gets the smiley faces. LOL

Tell you what, go to your local 6th grade school and have them 12 year olds shoot a rifle at 50 yards a bow at 20 yards and a X Bow at 50 yards and ask them which one the X bow is most like and we will see who gets this.....LOL [&:].
We had 12 year olds hitting paper plates at 100 yards with an X Bow with a scope on it the first time they ever seen one, and that was 20 years ago.
Maybe it's just me. or call me crazy.....but I'd rather form my own opinions and take advice from tose who have hunted for years rather than grade-schoolers.[&:][8D]

I'm not trying to twist anything Sliver. I just happen to disagree with you on this.............no big deal really.

Remember, we are on the same team.
