Actually no. What I posted was a fact. Anyone here can try and pick it apart but they wont succeed because it is fact. It is without a doubt the shooting proccess differences between the two down to a T.
What you posted was also a fact. I'm not argueing that. By definition (dictionary) a crossbow is a bow. A crossbow pistol is a bow. A 300win mag is a firearm. A .50 cal muzzle loader is a firearm. A .22 rimfire is a firearm.

O.K. Lets hash out what we've accomplished so far.

A thread was started supposedly to debate the impacts of crossbow during general archery season. In doing so , the original poster belittled , degraded , and humiliated compound shooters in the process.

Name calling ensued , individual degrading occurred , silly bets were made , and in the end the folks who were against crossbows in general archery season before are still against them. Some of the folks who were against crossbow use before are probably even more against it now due to the tactics used in trying to get a message accross. The folks who were in favor of crossbows are still in favor of crossbows. Some maybe even more due to the personal attacks generated from this thread.

So here we are with over 50 pages of crap!

If any bets are made?

Here's one thats a given.

I'd be willing to bet that within 10 years the majority of states will allow crossbows during the general archery season. Do a search on how many states are currently looking at the crossbow issue seriously. You'll be surprised. I know my state will vote on it next month.

If the crossbow proponents win? I dont wish this very often but if they win I sure as hell hope you guys are right and I'm wrong!

It's been fun!
