Arthur P, you're way off base. Since when are principles and discipline part of the hunting implement and not the hunter? That's like Wrongway insinuating (at the start of this thread) that crossbow hunters are less ethical than other hunters. This is the same argument the anti-gunners make when they say it's the GUN that is the problem (e.g. semi-autos, handguns, whatever).

Therefore, I'll tell you the same thing I'll tell the antis: If you don't like crossbows, don't own or use one, but don't tell ME what I can own or use.

You are not superior because you use a compound, or any other kind of bow for that matter.
