RE: I thought I heard Matt/PA head explode
Wow, I am amazed at some of the comments here. AR has had xbows legal for as long as I can remember. You know who uses them here? Old men and kids. I honestly don't know of more than a handful of capable people here that use them, and the one's that do usually hunt 4 or 5 days per year.
How would we feel if the traditional guys felt the same about our compounds? I'm sure some do but most trad shooters couldn't care less what other people are using to bowhunt with. Why should we?
Maybe if someone would care to enlighten me why a person should not use a crossbow I would understand.
1. Easier - Nope. Have you ever tried toting one around in the woods or have one up in a stand with you. The damn things are cumbersome as hell.
2.Further Range - Nope. Todays bows shoot just as flat and are accurate for just as far.
3.Limited motion - Nope. Try getting a second shot off with a xbow
BTW - I used one for 1/2of the 1992 season when I cut the tips of my fingers off. Hated it.
