Compounds are mechanical, they are designed to make everyone good shooters. I mean, c'mon, its robotic - you draw, put the pin in the peep on the target and squeeze the trigger. Thats it - the bow does everything else.
But yet you go on record later sayin.....
Oh Dude, do you know how many compounders fall into that category ? Even some recurve/longbow shooters aren't fit to be hunting is accuracy is a requirement !
Unfortunately I know there's way too many!! If half of them switched to a x-bow and stopped wounding deer because of it , I guess that would be a good thing.
So you admit compounds have already come too far ? Are you lobbying to ban them ?
Compounds are already allowed in every states general archery season. Why would I "lobby to ban them" unless I was a member of PETA?
Crossbows however are NOT allowed in every states general archery season.
Are you lobbying to allow them during archery season? And I'm not talking about a thread at a hunting forum. Are you
"lobbying" to allow them?
If so , why?
I have no problems with a seperate crossbow season. Afterall , the overall majority of states have a high enough deer population to withstand another season.
Like the analogy earlier - the lion is out, you know this, and the tiger is saying " why not let me out ? the lion is doing a lot of damage already. And you're saying well, the lion is a good thing but even though you're very close to a lion, you have those cosmetic stripes and well, the stripes make you different, so no, can't let you out even though you're bascially the same kind of large, carnivorous feline.
How crazy is that ? Cage them both, or let them both go. Anything less is hypocritcal
"
So your saying you feel that compounds have already tainted the general archery season so why not ruin the rest of it by allowing crossbows as well?
How pessimistic is that?
I agree 100% with that. What this is saying that compounders do NOT want to take the time and effort to learn to master a recurve/longbow, so they shoot compound because they are inherently EASIER. Compounders do not want to put forth the time and effort and they want to shoot BETTER and EASIER
I quoted that one for you (and in bold I might add) because you know full well it's your only motivation for even starting a thread like this!!!! Gives you another chance to point out the differences between compound shooters and your sacred recurve.
Does it really need to continue?
