So your not going to tell me how a crossbow is MORE like a gun than a bow?

The way I see it besides the fact that you shoulder it like a rifle and can keep it cocked, there are no more similarities. Every other similarity like sights, trigger etc... that you can say about a crossbow you can also say about a compound can't you now? So you are going to rest your argument on TWO similarities when there is probably a half a dozen differences and I mean BIG differences between a gun and a crossbow?????

In your way of thinking there are only two differences between a compound bow and a gun. You can't shoulder it and you cant keep it cocked....other than that a compound bow is JUST like a gun right??? See how silly that sounds.
