Guys, remember that most of these poor souls from Arkansas and Ohio have never known a bow season without the crossbow. They have absolutely no idea what they are asking us to surrender.
I lived in Colorado, Minnesota, Missouri ........... and have hunted 6-8 other states and none of them allowed crossbows in legal archery season (except if you had a permit). o again, your assumptions are incorrect.
The thing is Arthur P .... at least you recognize that compound have opened Pandora's bow - WIDE OPEN. IF you want a tricked out compound, high letoff, huge advantages all designed towards making longer shots, faster shots, BETTER shots ....... heck thats is EXACTLY what crossbows are/do ! Amazing anti-crossbow zealots cannot see this overall .
And I'm said to say I am one of the tecno weenies with cams, 75% letoff, mechanical releases, etc..... I think we need to fight this tooth and nail and atleast I have the satisfaction to know my state's bowhunter association is fighting it
LOL ! Talk about pot calling the kettle black ! You want YOUR easy letoff, all the tricks and gadgets, YOUY want to have all your stuff to make bowhunting easier and all ......... but dammit it you'll let anyone else ! LOL ........ whoa, yah, that REALLY makes a lot of sense, doesn't it ?
