Shoulder fired weapon verses not a shoulder fired weapon. There is allot of differances in all my bows but they require the same motion.
So why do you care that a woman or kid get a little more of an advantage than you do? You get a little more of an advantage than trads hunters. Does that mean that compounds shouldn't be allowed in archery season? All of those other things still remain the same in a HUNTING SITUATION. You still have the same effective range in a hunting situation. You still have to judge yardage in a hunting situation. You still have the same amount of KE in a hunting situation and you still shoot an arrow in a hunting situation.
Its simple for me if it is used like a bow then it is a bow, reguardless of cams, pullies or a piece of wood,
That's just were you have shoosed to draw the line in order to justify your own personal choice. Others may shoose to drawn the line differently. What gives you the right to decide for everyone else should drawn the line?
If it is shouldered like a gun, has a scope simular to a rifle, and requires no stgrenth to hold back, then it is not a bow Sir
Again that's your opinion but some people and some states disagree with you so shouldering it being the only difference you can point to why do you care if someone else shoots one if it doesn't effect you and allows others who may be less fortunate or have less aptitude than you to hunt during the archery season?
That makes it more like a gun. I hunt on public land all year with a bow for everything, so all I do is share. I by far am not gready, so you can drop it from your equation.
I don't think so. you just explained to me why you are so greedy. You don't want to share "your" public hunting areas.
As far as who should vote, Yes me and every other liscense buying hunter is that hunting residents only. If the rules effect the hunters don't you think we should have a say so, is there somthing wrong with DEMOCRACY.
No I don't have a problem with that at all it's just simply not how it's done. Ask DC if he got a vote when MS propsed the use of crossbows. The answer is NO. Legislators and the DNR decide. They may ask for your input in ofer to appease everyone but at the end of the day the only vote that counts is theirs.
The Biolgists made that rule, did you read my last post? NOT WITH THE CONCERN OF THE WEAPONS LIKENESS, but with herd control in mind. If you are going to take a "crake" at it apply common since and good reason.
well then we have to assume they also made the decsion to allow compounds based on herd control and therefore we can't consider it a bow. That was your groups rationale for what is a bow and what isn't, wasn''t it. "Because 47 states say it's a bow" But now your discounting that. Do the states and DNR's get to decide or not? If not then your argument is shot to he!!
My wife can hunt with me in Bowseason so why does she need a crossbow to do it.
We I am glad for your wife but the fact that she is capable doesn't make everyone capable and you are still trying to keep those folks out of archery season.
