your PSE Edge was much higher advanced
Absolutely it was ! One of the first precision machined aluminum risers, 65% letoff, at the time a radical cam/wheel on it - it was very cutting edge and shot circles around the older bows !
Data, seriously the scores shot today by the pros are not any better than years ago
Top scores - maybe not. But overall guys shoot vastly better with todays bows. See Arthur's post on success rates and how they've gone, up, up UP ! Wait, you DID see the succes rates, and you LIKE them.
So why are guys buying all the new bows and raving about how great they are if like you say - they're no more better than a precision edge ? Something don't add up Cougar ........ I think you know that.
We all know why deer hunting has become so popular though in the last few years.......the promoting of big antlers, the progression of more access to hunting videos and tv outdoor channels, and the big $$$$$.
And the compound bow makes it so easy to get into archery. You forgot to add that.
But a crossbow has no place in regular archery seasons.
But you cannot tell me a logical/reasonable argument WHY they shouldn't be allowed. Oh, thats right, its a CAT isn't it ?
You asked for one negative to crossbows .. and I gave it you!!!!
WEll duh, but the same exact point can be made on ANY legal or illegal weapon - which renders it a moot negative because it applies to EVERY WEAPON IN THE WORLD.
