Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

I got more positions than a hooker on a runway with my bow

But yeah, overall you're right, shooting a recurve IS more difficult - that was your point, wasn't it ?
ONCE AGAIN! You avoid my points like the plague dont you. Why is that? Maybe because it makes your arguement weak?

Higher tech machined risers. Solo cam technology. Split limbs. Fiber optic sights that are BTW AMAZING ! Drop away rests. Cam and ahlf technology. SIMS from hell. The triggered releases nowdays are fantastic too. Carbon in the risers/limbs. High Country's carbon bows are way cool. Horizonal limb technology that is basically a vertical crossbows with the wheels/cams doing all the work with very little limb movement. Bows are short ATA nowdays. Much more center shot. High brace heights.

The design changes are endless., the technolgoy having come a LONG way.
Are you just plain ignorant to the mechanics required for top shooters? It has nothing to do with technology!
Please take another stab at showing us all how compound bows are more accurate today than 20 years ago!!
Quieter? Yep! But it just happens my quietest bow is my recurve![]
Faster? Yep! Has nothing to do with accuracy , in fact in alot of cases it hinders accuracy.
Longer range shooting? Once again you avoided my comparisons of the LONG shots that Fred Bear had taken at live game.[] Along with many of our bowhunting forefathers with traditional gear.
Less recoil? Oh my yes! Why I remember the old days when my compounds would jump out of my hands and leave my arms vibrating for weeks.
Fibre optic sights? Give me the old paint dipped pins and I wont miss a beat!
Limbsavers? Dont need them in my opinion. Although I've seen them on recurves too.[]

As for your other opinions? Number 2 doesn't surprise me , it shows your character! Someone worked hard for that ATV , I hope you get caught some day!
