And I agree with BC that carrying around an xbow ****ed at over 100lbs. is foolish,even if unbolted,for the carrier and any bystanders I myself would not walk anywhere near someone with a ****ed xbow.
But you can't argue with idiots!
Who is arguing that carrying it loaded is the right thing to do??
Also can you explain why you are at a disadvantage? You are setting in your tree hunting with a bow and the other guy is hunting 150 yards away in his tree with a xbow. How does it affect you. They have the same range.
