Jack Ryan - unlike you, I like discussin the WHY's of how things are. Not only is this a crossbow discussion, its also on one level a discussion on just how far archery equipment has come - and where it will and when technology will get to the point that its not archery anymore.
Oh it is? Is that another one of you just because YOU say so declarations? Kinda like the "just give me one blah blah blay" then you declare every response you don't like not a valid reason. You offered up your opinion. I'll give mine. I'll let the moderator determine if it's in the correct thread or not.
If you have a concern with my comments being on topic you should take it up with the mods. I'm sure if there is any validity to your claims the situation will be corrected quite quickly. Other wise your opinion smells just like everyone else's.
Remember, someone bucked the rules bigtime to get your compound allowed. Someone promoted the use of the compound when it wasn't legal. It wasn't a bow until they made it legal - do you wish they'd have never fought for your compounds ?
The never bucked the rules to get anything of mine nor anything for me. I read the rule book. Learned the weapons and the seasons they were legal to use them in and then made my self proficient with the weapon appropriate for the time and animal I chose to hunt. If you'd rather just be a whiner than buck up like everyone else, feel free. You are free to whine and cry around all you want in this country. If that's what you chose to do, expect to get called on it.
Holding your breath and stomping your feet is not "fighting".
A crossbow is not a bow and arrow. It's got no business in a season intended for use of bows and arrows.
Your first post ask for just one negative to crossbows? Right here is one over 30 pages long. Crossbow cry babies crying like spoiled little girls and pontificating like they were Nelson Mandela has got to be right up near the top. Dry your tears and get over it.
