I've killed over 40 deer with a bow and it's a blast...I love it....but don't make it out to be more than it is.

Have you hunted with a crossbow to see what challenges you may face or is all your knowledge preconceived ? My argument has never been about what one is the toughest anyway. Thats been yours. I just said someone should be able to use it in bow season. Why don't you cry a river about compound bows that can be held at 80 % let off for a long time. Why don't you want all the bowhunters to challenge themselves with only a stick bow...remember tradition and honor and skill and all the other stuff you threw out there. Compound bow should not have a place in "your woods".
