Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

I think if you werent such an elitist about your precious traditional tackle, and if you didnt work so hard at denouncing the compounds, I may actually listen to what you have to say.

Not to mention that you took most of what I said out of context. I agree that there are too many advancements in the compound today. Perhaps you missed it in my thread though, seems you have selective reading.

VERY DIFFICULT to discuss something with someone who suffers from SELECTIVE READING.
Heres a tip for you, read my entire thread, and rather than picking out the sentences you dont like, put together a coherent response taking into consideration ALL my thoughts and words.

You still didnt answer my question as to why not tell us the "holes" in your side. You danced around that one.

Keep posting your thoughts, it just makes it more and more obvious your hatred for compounds. If you had it your way, we would only be allowed to use longbows and cedar arrows. We would fashion our broadheads out of stone, and tie turkey feathers on with sinew.

I have great respect for traditional archers, there is no doubt its harder. But you are failing to see the difference between technology and technique. If crossbows were so similar to bows, why werent they widely accepted into archery seasons many many years ago? They have been around for a VERY LONG time...why all of a sudden the push for them to be included?

Well Im tired, so Im off to bed.....but I have some further points for you to try and "debunk" tomorrow.

Heck, maybe you can convince me, and others, to accept crossbows. Though from your attitude, that doesnt seem to be your intentions. Your intentions seem to be pretty clear. You want to poke fun at compound shooters, and prove your superior. Good for you, takes a manly man to inflate his ego on a bowhunting forum. 72 pages of the same argument, with nothing being accomplished, you must really be trying hard to convince us! Your mommy must be proud.
