I do agree, that is where the simularties end. Everyone that has entered anything bad about crossbows on this thred is saying. It is not that they are so different to any bow. It is when you use one to hunt, the crossbow is more simular to a gun when harvesting that game than a bow. So some people think that crossbows should be used in a season that uses like weapons, being ones in the same manor. Refering to gun/crossbow shouldering sighting, staying loaded. Verses common bows one of my compounds, longbows, or recurve that I have. Just trying to clarify some thinking on a level headed conversation when people get hot headed it is hard to see to other side. BigJ thanks for the good conversation. Russ

I agree with you and like I said in my last post I think I am looking at it in the overall classification of the weapon vs how it is used in the hunt.
While it is used like a rifle and not like a bow it is still a bow and to me should be classified as a bow and put into the bow season if allowed. Afterall the compound bow while held and used like a regular bow is no way near to being the same as a long or recurve bow, but all are still bows right?
Again to all, sorry if I come across close minded, I do understand what you are saying and will be open to additional opinions as well.
