Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

If you honestly believe an archer can shoot with accuracy after legal shooting light, I have to question the validity of your statements concerning your archery prowess. Not saying it can't be done under perfect conditions .. but it's not regularly or under normal conditions. While that crossbow you love, coupled with that flashlight in your pocket can shoot accurately with a full moon or no moon EVERY night. I'll bet 1000 dollars you can't hold a flashlight in either of your hands and shoot any bow, traditional or compound and hit the bulls eye at 20 yards. But any Joe Blow can do it with a crossbow......
I'll bet you $10,000 that I can do it with a flashlight. A headlight flashlight that is. Just turn that baby sideways and wha la I can shoot my compound at night. But again, the sma can be done with a compound you just have to add an adapter to the flashlight. But as you have so evasively eluded the point I will raise it again. Bows and or crossbows don't poach, people do. If someone is going to poach then they are going to find a way to do so. So again your argument holds no merit. You guys talk about data being unwilling to listen to the other said but that can just as equally be said about you all as well. The fact is that you are willing to prevent women and children and partially disabled people from possibly entering our sport which has declined in numbers by over 1.3 million hunters in a relatively short amount of time.
