Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

Compounds were marketed to people who didn't want to learn how to master the finger release, train for months to hold a man's weight bow and align your string without a peep. Your point is? In states where crossbows are not usually accessible, compounds are the easiest ticket to archery season.

1st off most people now days do use a range finder with a crossbow you will surly have the time.
You can do this with a compound.

2nd off a 10 to 12 in goup at 100 yards is about 4 tims the avrage compoud shooters range.
This isn’t true.

3rd you can do away with the compound. I will gladly shoot my stick bow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do this?

4th compounds did change bow hunting and crossbows will only make is worse.
It hasn’t changed anything; you still have your stick bow.

5th if you beleave this i am turly sorry
If you cannot hold a bow for at least a minute it isn’t for you. I can hold the Concept99 forever.

asking crossbows have been legal in ohio for 30 years?
Since 1976.

If so I would like to know the nifrance in numbers on crossbows to compounds and stick if you know them.
Go here.

No one has even tried to prove that a crossbow has a greater range, greater rate of fire, greater accuracy or greater predicted harvest rate than a compound bow.

Before the beginning of the compound, very few archers would have taken shots beyond 15 perhaps 20 yards.

Now with the compound, 40, 50 and 60 yard shots are not that unusual.
