Ky, I have showed you, I have been respectful and have answered every question you put before me. You have not. You have dodged questions. You have outright lied thru your teeth.
I showed you the beginning of archery seasons, showed you my reasons for my belief. I have showed you examples on how I personally feel they can be unsafe in a manner that most arrowgun users use them. I have pointed out to you that holding a 100-250lb device is unsafe. You ignored it.
You then try to go to range, (not me, you), I showed you example after example of how they do have more range. You then go to stability and KE. I didn't go there, you did. I can show you. You kept telling me you could show me proof how they loose energy faster. You said complete bogus statements and told me thats physics. I was patient, and tried to have a conversation with you about it. You ignored it. You went off on some tangent saying the arrowgun had short stroke and less KE. Total bogus. I showed you how they are not and they made up for it with extra draw wieght. I promise you can show you where you said it. You ignored it. I questioned you with examples, and you clearly do not comprehend Newtons laws. You ignored it.
I am being serious here. How would you feel if I came on here and told you about papermaking? Posted someone else's opinions from the internet, yet never in my life knew anything about papermaking? How would you reply? Would you sit here and pour out your experience showing me detailed step by step where I am wrong? Or would you take the opinion of some nameless, faceless poster from an internet forum when you have worked and breathed papermaking for decades? But thats exactly what you did to me. But you sat here and lied.
What kinda person does that make you? But yet, your going to come on here and scream that you treated everyone so nice and your such the victim here.
God was never used in this argument. Just a story that was like the one from the bible. If you want to make it out like I was dishonoring God then you lie.
I have not lied once.
"You told me personally how
"you" feel they are unsafe"....this part is true but there is zero facts to back this up. Like you told me "people put their own spin on things" and that's all you did. Zero facts.
Here is a part of a crossbow article I read just a few minutes ago about range...it was in this months North American Whitetail.....
"
The higher draw weight of a crossbow in necessary because it has a much shorter power stroke. The shorter power stroke means that less kinetic energy is being stored in the arrow when shot. Therefore, even with the heavier draw weight, the arrow flight and speed from a crossbow are equal to or less than that of a vertical bow; and regardless of the speed, a crossbow arrow will always drop faster than a vertical bow.
Sound just like what I said and you argue against doesn't it Mr. Engineer. I know you will say it's a lie but why would they make it sound worse for the xbow if it's a pro xbow piece. It also stated that shots over 40 yards are taboo by ethical xbow hunters because of the rapid loss of speed. Pick up a copy and read it yourself.
