The important word in that (and all of your posts) is "I" can......."I" can........didn't realize you were speaking for every man woman and child out there who can just pick up any bow and shoot 3" groups at 30 yards. Because it's easy for YOU, yep it's easy for everyone. What you picked up a compound bow the first day and shot a bullseye on everyshot since? I could do that with a crossbow.

It took almost 2 years of practice with that kid I'm teaching to have him really start to get a good repeatable anchor, follow through, grip, ect ect.........and he's proud of his accomplishment in shooting his 3 to 5" groups at 20 yards now. You should see him jump up and down when he hits 2 arrows together, and the fun he gets trying to shoot accurately at 30 yards.

What would your crossbow have taught him? "Here ya go kid, heck you don't even need a new bow of your own, you can just borrow mine, it's already sighted in, just point and squeeze the trigger."........"What you're a little shaky? Here rest it on the table and you'll be just as accurate as you were shooting your .22 from the bench rest." "See that? Bullseye first shot.......boy you're a natural!"[:'(]

Like I said, instant satisfaction, gratification.......and ultimately boredom from too much success right from the start.
A compound has the ability to make me and you and every archer more accurate? Yeah tell that to Byron Furgeson, or Howard Hill.......We get as good as our practice will allow, some are naturals and pic it up quicker than others, but your crossbow removes that part entirely from the equation.
Step right up, point and shoot.........pass it around so everyone has a chance to hit the bullseye.

You don't speak for everybody, obviously you are a good shot, I'm a good shot, and many guys here are.........there's a reason they come here, either they are generally the top rung and this is their passion.........or they are beginners seeking advice because guess what? Not everyone is you , or me, or Chuck Adams killing Cous Deer at 70 yards.

You have this unbeleivable view that your opinions are somehow devinely right and infallable, able to be defended at every corner?........You're kidding right?
You pick and choose what to argue, and defend, and quite frankly it all sounds pretty silly anyway.

How about you break this article down for me.......It highlights everything you've been saying as to how similar a compound a crossbow are.

Boy we are all ashamed that we didn't believe you!.......you were right. LOL.

I'm curious as to your position, and also why you think WE as the majority need to defend our position? YOU need to convince US and you are failing miserably......the only place you are not failing in your arguments is in your own mind.
