ELKINMTCWB - you got the internet, right ? Look the numbers up yourself !
As for your wife she will get 10 times better reword out of waiting to bow hunt.
All the compounders would get 10000000000 times the reward if they'd learn to shoot a real bow.
My uncle is an ass.and not a bow hunter. I beleve if xbows can be used for the genaral public there will be a ton of poeple JUST LIKE MY UNCLE.
I believe you believe that - but its an unfounded fear. How ? Geeeeeez man, look at Arkansas and Ohio. We're not overrun with degenerates shooting crossbows. In fact, I'd hazard theres more worthless rifle huntersa and compound hunters than crossbow hunters. Your fear is just that - a fear. Its not real.
As for your uncle -- you did say he was an ass and if he shot a compound he'd still be an ass, wouldn't he ? The weapon doesn't make the ethics of a man
I say you better be careful. Someone might just say that the contraption in YOUR hands, while held and drawn like a bow is NO WAY NEAR the same as the original long bows that were used and are still used by TRUE BOW HUNTERS. They just might say that YOU are not bow hunters either
I have said exactly that - dozens of time. Seems no one wants to call me on my "elitist" views though ???
I know someone who uses a crossbow. He shoots it out the window of his truck at nite with a spotlight. I have herd him talking about it. I would love to catch him. It's hard to hear a shot from a crossbow.
I know someone who does that with a compound, and his sister's friend's wife's husband does too. Lets ban compounds
Real bows you have to draw undetected.. Thats the real difference
I'm telling you - and I've hunted with crossbows, longbows and compounds, theres a VAST difference in drawing on game with a recurve/longbow compared to a compound. VAST - VAST. Its a totally new ballgame that is equivalent to comparisons between crossbows and compounds.
Its true and until you're gone trad and hunted trad and realized it ? You don't have any idea how difficult it really is.
And because of that, I can stand on a pillar - just like you - and bash compound just like you are bashing the ease of use of the crossbow.
