Like I said, I started out with a long bow and then a recurve........sorry but too hard and I just don't have the time needed to become good enough to hunt with it. I like to shoot them and still do, but only for fun. No I will keep my crossbow. It has served me well and I happen to like all of the bells and whistles that they come with.
why isn't that a valid reason to allow crossbows ?
Data,
I think there are many people who think the same way I do....I just don't have a problem telling it like it is. I don't see a crossbow and anything other than another option when it comes to string fired weapons. To me that is what bows are I have said before and I will say it again a crossbow by it's very definition is a form of a bow. Different than a compound...yes but I still contend that it is no stranger than a crossbow is to a long bow.
If you bring to light the differences in one comparison why can't the differences be brought to light in the other?
I know they are differet but I contend they are both BIG differences in there own right and the one side should not be dismissed simply because they are different.
I say this because I think some of you are doing just that. If fact you have to, because to agree that the differences between compounds and long bows is just as great as the differences between compounds and crossbows albeit different shows hypocrisy.
