"Idont recall doing any begging."

Selective memory.

"I think that if there is widespread well-argued support for crossbows then include them, and if there is widespread well-argued opposition then keep them very limited in use. "

I disagree. and to a point agree. I don't think this matter should be or need to be argued AT ALL. This should be decided by the sportsmen of the state and pgc should have made the effort to ask before just shoving things down our throats. I think with matters such as this, it should be majority rule and if I dont like the results or you dont, tough. But that certainly far from how it is currently being done.

"Stuff like that eventually works against you and weakens your arguments. "

Do you think I give a rats butt about your judgement of my argument? (LOL). Your opinion is completely meaningless to me. my opinions are my opinions and the facts I speak of are facts. It is what it is. Of course your desire for the shortcut in no way effects your judgement of my posts. (LOL)

"Then you sit there scratching your heads wondering why crossbows are being legalized in state after state."

Actually Im not. I think you better do a recount. MOST states do NOT have them legal in archery deerseason for all. Manufacturers are largely responsible for those states that do have them legal. And that is a fact. They've also been very hard at work here as of late. Perhaps you know all about this alot more than you let on.
