burniegoeasily - Double Creek has a good take on it.
When you rifle hunt and try a crossbow for the first time - dang it HARD ! Then you try a compound and the crossbow seems easy. Then you shoot a recurve and you realize how dang easy compounds were. And self bowyers ? A WHOLE different level of challenge !
And thats just the basic levels of weapons. Not to mention the Hoyt guys vs the Mathews guys, the mechnical heads vs the fixed blade heads, the Black Widow fanatics or thoe who swear by adjustable sights, or drop away rests. WE could go into the ATV talk, poison pods, baiting, and things like that too ?
Hunting is BETTER for discussions on things - no doubt about it.
