Where do you get your info from? I guarantee you they aren't as accurate and they don't carry the KE either. I have been around them for a long time so I think I have a pretty good grasp of them. Where do you get this info to the contrary?
Where the hell do you get your info!!! What did you do , go shoot a $200 crossbow and base your opinion of their effectiveness on that?
I had the opportunity to shoot a 10pt crossbow. From what I was told then it's the top of the line. I could very easily sit and shoot at spots the size of quarters at 40yds and stack the bolts in there ALL day long. Dont know what type of kinetic energy it produced or what speed it was shooting but I do know that a 40yd hunting shot with that particular crossbow was a givin! And from what I could tell 50yds would also be effective.
It’s truly sad that some of you don’t know what a bow is. A bow is a weapon that shoots arrows powered by the elasticity of the bow and/or its string. The technique of using a bow is called archery.
Thanks for the lesson! Go back and look at the differences between the two (compounds/recurves vs crossbows) when concerning
hunting situations. Thats what we're talking about here!
Keywords: What if your youngster desired to begin archery hunting for the first time? On the other hand, they were just attracted to crossbows. Even though you strived to get him/her to use a bow they were not interested.
Right now? We cant use them in any season unless disabled. I would love to see a
seperate crossbow season and/or allow them during gun season. Then the "youngster" could hunt with a crossbow.
Bottom line it never HAS hurt gun season - do you even CARE about knowing the facts on how crossbows hasn't made these impacts in AR,GA,OH ??
If we're going to take statistics into account lets eliminate AR from the equation. I dont know about GA or OH but AR has had legal crossbow use in general archery season since the 70's? Wasn't the 70's the booming age of the compound? So realistically speaking , most of the archers in AR (todays archers) knew no other way. So it's pretty hard to put AR into the equation of what might happen today in states where a crossbow was never allowed during bow season and the impact it might have if suddenly allowed.
That leaves two states out of fifty to base our success/failure info on. Guess I want more substantiated proof.
They have already got concept crossbows with in excess of 250 lb draw weight, the 2 bolt crossbow is already in development ... hell, a repeater!
Shall we limit firearm hunters to single shots only, since pumps, lever actions and bolt actions are unfair?
Just curious what datamax has to say about that concept??
Still curious.
