Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

The weapons DOES fit - look no farther than AR, OH, GA, Canada etc etc. - and it IS manages easily by looing at how our states include them and the effect they have on archery season (which is NOT a negative)
If thats all the closer your gonna look lets look at Ohio? Crossbow harvests made up the majority of their archery harvest last year.[>:] I bet it increases every year.
I see BigJ12 saying "doesn't anyone read my posts"[X(] Well , I've seen alot of jumping around mine as well. A seperate crossbow season? Oh thats right - "its' not neccessary". As if you can even begin answering that question for every state!



Well, it unites all archers for one thing, plus its putting perspective on what bowhunting is - and isn't. Crossbows in archery season are not bad - you've seen the facts.
"Putting perspective on what bowhunting is - and isn't" and you want it all lumped together in one season? Please explain the lunacy in that statement.


Okay, lets consider it. What states have allowed crossbows and what were the results ? Hmmmmmmmm, yes, that doesn't fit your anti-crossbow stance very well, does it.
Wow! What scientific research you've done! Care to break it down a little further for everyone? Like say , out of the 3 states that allow crossbows during archery season , what year were crossbows legalized? Before or during the "booming compound era"? How many bowhunters before legalizing crossbows? How many bowhunters the following year? How many bowhunters now? The deer population in each state starting before legalization? The harvest total for each state before legalization? The harvest totals now? Including gun harvests matched with DNR's desired yearly quota? How each state keeps track of which kills were compound/trad vs crossbow?
All kinds of pertinent info that needs to be taken into account for real research involving each individual state. Hmmmmm , yes , that right , that doesn't fit your pro crossbow (another chance to slam compounds) stance very well.

But, when you take a guy that's really good and put a compound that's infinitely tunable in his hand and you take a guy thats really good and put crossbow in his hand, the guy with the compound is going to wax the crossbow guys @SS every time. That doesn't imply IMO that I think they would have a lower success rate than trad equipment but that was a nice try
Nice try Silent! Thats why the 3d tourneys that do allow crossbows , make the crossbows use open sights and shoot standing up , off hand.
Clue - They wont/dont hunt that way! Thats when the scopes and rests come in real handy.


Actually, you're wrong, yet again, which isn't surprisng. What I've shown - over and over, is that crossbows as easy and thats why compounders hate them, but compunds are easy too yet compounders WANT that easy without allowing anyone else easy.
Correction. You've tried to show that compounds are just as easy as crossbows. And YES this whole thread was just another chance to slam compounds. Evident by anyone who's been around long enough to see your other posts under a different user name.


If you really wanted to change our minds you would have went about all of this in a different manner.

No - actually I wouldn't have
No - actually you should have!



But a compound with a machined riser, non-working horizonal limb technology, huge multi cams that allow >80% letoff, triggered released, fall away rests, cables and string and pulley ........ yeah, THATS a bow huh ?
Well , yeah! Btw , "non working" horizontal limb technology? Care to explain that one? Are you trying to tell us that the limbs of a compound dont have a functioning factor in the shot?

okey dokey - you managed to say ............. uh, nothing really, in all that you typed. Congrats
The irony!!! Youv've done the same for over 80 pages!


We've got 'em now silentassassin
