Hey Geronimo,

Don't you think we should value the merits of hunting in general...and just not archery...and anwser this, was there an issue between trad bows and compounds....the answer to that is NO because we hunt in the same season with both of them....and compounds have only been around for 30-35 years (aprox)....crossbows have been around for a couple of thousand years....maybe I am just taking this issue wrong (has already been hashed out in pages of past threads), you could be a archer and not a hunter...and that is OK, if that is the case.

I shoot better with my trad bows and compounds than I do my crossbow...what threat could my crossbow be to anyone in a archery season...there are just no advantages....
Here in California, they are not included in the archery season, and we hunt with them in the gun season...and I really don't have a problem with any of it...I just go where others are not, and then I don't have to worry about it; Rifles, Shotguns, Bows or anything else that may be legal...they are all weapons to me...
