I liken it to saying, regarding muzzleloaders that a cap & ball is easier than a flintlock & its allowed during muzzleloader so why cant I use my 30/06?
Oh , geeeez, are you reading what you type ? A crossbow and compound - 2 limbs, a string, the energy stored and released into the arrow ........ same concept. A muzzleloader is NOT the same critter as a high powered rifle (though the gap is closing by leaps and bounds) Its been covered already HOW they are different.
I agree theyre different & so is a crossbow. A crossbow is better than a compound by more of a margin than a rifle is to a muzzleloader IMO. I am not against them per se, just being realistic. Theres no way that a weapon you can load & wait indefinately to fire does not have advantages to a hand drawn bow. I guess once a long time ago people may have argued over compounds & stick bows but thats a different arguement & seems to have been decided. This arguement has also been decided as well or they would be legal everywhere. The very fact that an acception has to be made shows that to most people a crossbow isnt a bow, its a crossbow.
