Hell I'm doing the same thing yet no one has said I'm against compounds? because I'm not! I love my compound with all of it's bells and whistles and I know it's far far removed from how a true bow should be. Thats why I can accept crossbows because I would be a hypocrite if I didn't.
Right - obviously, your tone is different. I have more respect for your view (although I don't agree with it) that a crossbow is an extension of archery than I do for Datamax's (that since a compound bastardizes and corrupts archery, why not let anything, including crossbows, in.)
At least you are being sincere and honest - I respect that. I still don't believe that crossbows belong in archery season, but I can respect your opinion.
