Arthur, by "as challenging" I mean the limited range of each of these two types of weapons, not the difficulty to shoot them, so don't put words in my mouth or say that I was contradicting myself. Also, where do you get that I am from Canada? I mean, seriously. Where on my profile or in my posts does it say that? I am from Northeast Arkansas. Now, for the seventeenth time. IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS WHICH WEAPON THAT I CHOOSE TO HUNT WITH. Our state allows the use of crossbows in the archery season, if you don't like crossbows, then here's a crazy idea. DON'T USE THEM, but don't try to degrade those who do. I did contradict myself in one way, I said that I would not give you the satisfaction of arguing with you again. So I guess I lied. But I could not help myself. I guess I am just hoping that you will finally realize how ignorant you sound, but probably not. It's obvious that you just love to argue. I mean, you have made nearly 2,000 posts on this website. As I said earlier, get a job! I guess maybe you are pissed off because maybe you aren't as successful of a hunter as you would like to be. Well here is some good advice. Spend just one tenth of the time on your scouting and hunting as you do on here arguing and I guarantee that you will see the benefits. Hey, Art. Why don't you try and start an anti-crossbow movement, that will give you something to do to occupy more of your time. Heck, just think. With a little hard work and persistence, you might just be able to have all those crossbows rounded up and burned.
