Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

Of course not - thats not logical though. I don't think you even put much effort into dreaming that flimsy thing up
I put about as much effort in it as you did in this attempt to again slam compounds every chance you get! It got the result I figured it would too! You get a little testy and insulting when it's your chosen weapon mentioned in the "ban" sentence , dontcha?

Again , what is the negatives of allowing crossbows in a seperate season?

I've posted them already. First you're asking to create a new season, say 4-6 weeks when the weeks just are not there in most states. And crossbows are already legal for handicap hunters, and we know that they have no negative effects in AR, OH and GA and others. You're also sayin gin essence that bowhunting doesn't need new bowhunters, that theres not strength in numbers and that the addition of crossbow hunters wouldn't be a good thing.
Why wouldn't a seperate season for x-bow add more hunters??? If your going to debate logically , dont assume to just your benefit!! Who says a new seperate season for x-bows wouldn't draw more hunters?

A seperate season is unneccessary - are you wanting a seperate compound season too ?
Thats your best arguement for a seperate season? "It's unneccessary"

You can whine and bellow until your blue in the face. Anyone with a lick of common sense knows that a crossbow and compound aren't even close in classification.

Can anyone here shoot their compound lying on their belly like a snyper and hit what their aiming at? Didn't think so!
How many people here bowhunt out of their gun box blinds? How many could with a crossbow?
How many here can draw on a deer with their compound and have the deer stop before the opening , let down , and draw again without being detected? Not a problem with a crossbow is it?

Now since your so gung ho on pointing out that a compound isn't archery gear either maybe you'd like to throw some scenarios my way that totally seperates the compound from traditional gear? You want to debate the two (compound vs traditional) so lets avoid all the other crap and get right down to it. Dont use the "EASIER" crap either because you choose to use some of the same "bells & whistles" on your recurve and each choice has EASIER aspects to it.
What makes a compound bow "non archery" equipment?

I know why I choose my equipment - why don't ya'll belly up here and admit you choose compounds because they're easy ?
Because I just happen to find compound shooting just as FUN and ENJOYABLE as I do trad gear!! Is that so hard to understand?
