Most guys like that have never even touched a crossbow, know absolutely nothing about them and would act like you were trying to force feed them with nuclear waste if you invited them to shoot one. The ones who have used both a modern compound and a modern crossbow in real life hunting situations and oppose them, I can respect their opinion even if I disagree with them. At least they have an informed opinion. It's people who are totally ignorant, and willfully remain so, that disgust me.
