silentassassin - Thanks for your input. Have you hunted Shirey Bay yet this year ? I'm going up there mid January to turkey/deer hunt in a few of those waterfowl rest areas when they reopen.
Those loud ones went my the wayside a few years back. My compounds are really no louder than my recurve
Everyone don't use Q2's or tune their compounds. Lots of loud compounds still being used.
It is needs to be HAND DRAWN...AND HAND HELD.
This is what seperates the two weapons.
Cool. As much difference as there is between a compound and crossbow 9regarding draw and holding weight - so is there evry bit as much, or MORE - difference between compounds and recurves/longbows. by your own definition of seperation, lets put componds into their own season, right ?
Obviously the VAST majority of state wildlife agencys agree with the above opinion, although a few, very few, have caved to the crying of late.
Thats driven by the PBS and their cronies, but times are changing.
If, and this is a big if, but if crossbow hunters are as a whole, MORE unethical in regards to shot placement, then we need to limit that mentality.
Can't be proved. I betcha gun hunters are THE most unethical group of them all.
nitro23 - Now thats a hell of an argument !
