Wow, thats comical. Because nothing you have said has a leg to stand on. I have shot it all down and made you look like a fool. But I seriously doubt you could ever see it.
Todd brought up valid points. Of course you will never even attempt to discuss them. I kinda can't blame you. You would lose.
A person is a total idiot if he doesn't see the simularities between a modern X-bow and a rifle. I mean you would have to have a severe low IQ to miss it. I don't know if someone could have an intelligent conversation with someone that dumb.
I couldn't figure out where all this push to have crossbows legal in MD came from. I made complaints, I called the DNR, finally one guy said, its mostly from dealers and rifle hunters. Oh yea, thats right, you are a dealer, are you not? Wow, big surprise.
Nothing you have said has any foundation, but you keep on spewing the crap.
Bottom line is if archery season has nothing to do with tradition, nothing to do with love of archery, and its inherient difficulty and skill it takes. Then a logic intelligent person has only to conclude its about deer management, and that alone, and it should be weapon of choice deer season. Now there is some common sense for you.

You don't have a leg to stand on in this argument. Every argument you have attempted to make has been easily shot right out of the sky. Primitive weapons shot down. Crossbows not being archery equipment shot down. Their all slob hunters that are going to woulnd and kill all the deer completely unfounded as state after state can prove otherwise. Crossbows are just like guns and lets just all have one long hunting season, just absurd. Nothing that either of you has brought to the argument has any foundation.
This is nothing more than history repeating itself.
The traditional muzzle loader guys had the same gripe about inlines.
The traditional bow guys had the same arguments about compounds when they showed up to the hunting scene.
Both groups had zero valid points as time has showed and neither of you have a valid point about crossbows now. Just the same ole tired argument.
