They are not taboo on this sight, but they are not that popular either. The thing is most here just don't use them, so they don't have that much experience with them. That's why you don't get that many responses. There are also others that just flat out don't like them or people that use them it seems. I personally don't have a problem with them at all. Not really much you can do to them though, other than set them up and shoot them. At least compared to a compound bow.
check this out, maybe it will help you some.
