O god, here we go again....

What do I think of x-bows..... well, I use to be entirely against them, but, now, I say to each his own. As long as the people practice, then who am I to question their choice???

As far as this whole.....

Rifle
Inline Muzzleloader
Slug shotgun
Smokepole
x-bow
compound bow
recurce
stick bow
spear.

ect........

What does it matter? How does it affect you personally? If we want to get a little crazy here, maybe we should say that hunting should only be done with bare hands! Then we could hold this "I am the best" attitude all we want.

There are differences between x-bows and compound bows, just like there are differences between compounds and recurve, like recurves and stick bows..... but, guess what, they are just weapons!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are made so you can go in the woods and kill the animal that you are after. They may achieve this goal a little differently, but, guess what, they serve the same purpose.

Like others have said, this petty bickering will get you nowhere! Okay, lets say that the compound/recurve/stick bow shhoters manage to get rid of all x-bow hunting, well guess what you just did...... you just shrunk the amount of hunters in this sport. Think about what would happen if the smokepole and inline muzzleloader hunters got rid of rifle season. That would knock a huge hunk of people out. But, it wouldn't stop there, then, the flintlock hunters would want the inline hunters out of "their" season. So, now you are down to one small group, which anti-hunting orginizations will have a field day with.

Nobody hunts the same, and guess what, that is fine. Hunt the way that you want to and don't worry about how others are hunting. If all you worry about on stand is what some guy is hunting with 4 states away from you, well, then you got problems.

We are all hunters, and we all use different tools. No one way is better than any other, no matter what people say.

Geez, it is funny how so many grown and mature men/woman can act like little kids when it comes to hunting...... "my daddy will beat your daddy up"
