It always means that my comment is absolutely true and the name caller doesn't have an adequate argument against it
Actually it means just he opposite and you're too blind to see it !
And the question isn't whether the compound falls into place with crossbows. It's a question of how the crossbow falls into place with bows.
Okay, lets make THAT the question. They are very similar critters ... or very DISsilimar from recurve/longbows. There, easy enough, right ?
Zelazny just just said compounds don't belong in bow season!! You aren't going to stand for THAT are you
There you go, you get it now. As a crossbow is different from recurves/longbows/compounds, so too are compound different. If you have an argument against crossbow, that VERY same argument, be it letoff, sights, release aids etc etc can be applied to - and rightly so - to compounds.
I am NOT saying ban compounds - I am saying theres little difference in them and crossbows in the grand scheme of things and you gotta allow one if you allow the other. Not doing that is hypocritical, which is where I see almost all bowhunters (those who are against crossbows in archery season)
bogobble - You cannot regulate lazy. Theres a lot of compound hunters who don't practice until a week before season too. Your argument makes no sense - as its based on "I practice more than they do" - right ?
Question for those who say crossbows will recruit more hunters... Just what KIND of people will they recruit? What will be their impact on our public image?
That use to be my argument too until I realized that it has nothing to do with the weapon. For every slob crossbow hunters theres just as many slob compound hunters, recurve hunters and rifle hunters. You cannot blanket statement the quality of crossbow hunters without making the same genralized comments about compound shooters - impossible.
I am still waiting for that 1 reason, that 1 negative that crossbows have when allowed in general archery seaosn. Is it so hard to come up with 1 valid reason ? Yes, it is, or we'd have seen it by now !
