Well, what is funny to me is that this same question is posed over and over on this and other forums. The poster always starts with a disclaimer that he is not trying to start an argument. As the previous poster stated, I could easily go on the bowhunting forum and get everyone riled up with a dumb statement asking why they feel the need to use a compound.

The problem with the question is that it starts with the premise that the x-bow user needs to justify his use of the weapon. I don't feel the need to justify my use of the x-bow. I like to use one and it is legal where I hunt. To me, this debate is akin to a stupid debate over calibers, models, manufacturers, etc.
