BigJ, I normally find your posts intelligent,
Thank you ...as I do yours.
but.... how you arrive that because a crossbow has a bow as "part" of the weapon that it is a "bow" escapes me.
That's easy...It's not just a part it's the
main part. You see it says the
bow is mounted on yada yada yada. So I deduct that is it's a form of a bow. What I have been saying all along.
I think we all can agree when I say that a crossbow is a bow that is held and cocked different than a compound or long/recurve I am correct? If you agree with that then look at what was just said: it'a a
bow that is held and cocked different...a
bow
Do you see my logic?
