Opinions on Crossbows

Never said they 'must' do it on my terms only they 'should' do it if they are capable. I'm smart enough to realize if its legal its a personal choice. So go ahead and enjoy that 'cheater' bow!
Yes, in the eyes of traditional hunters, a compound could be considered a 'cheater' bow as I have stated. I have no problem with them thinking of me that way if they so choose. One of my friends I hunt with shoots traditional gear and I used to myself. I'm not going to anymore as age has caught up with me.

I've been guilty of it a time or 2 Gus but mostly to prove a point because some meat head thinks he knows everything about Traditional bows and yet has never hunted with a Traditional bow.
It really amazes me just how ignorant some of "us" are. [&:]

Why did I waste my time as there is nothing 'elitest' or 'arrogant' about my post!!!
You completely misunderstand me, but that is your right!!! And if you did share a camp with me, you would find out how poorly you judged me! I wish you the best!

Well Guss, I shoot Trad, I shoot Compound, they have the same shot process,and I have shot several X Bows and you or know one else is going to tell me that a X Bow is shot the same as a Recurve or a Compound just to make you feel better. If you are handicaped and can already hunt the whole season with the Xbow all 90 days of it here in Mich, so whats your point! Itis shot like aGun, not like a bow, and you or no one else can change that. It has nothing to do with feeling elite, it is what it is.

Crossbows are cheater bows, i.e. a bow that someone uses because it's easier even though they 'could' use something else!

Whay do you care what anyone else shoots anyway?

Now how about an atl-atl? I have always wanted to try that. The elite anti-elitests are aunique crowd.
My dad hunts with a crossbow due to a bum shoulder. I am very glad the Dr provided him with a special permit so that he may spend more time in the outdoors - not a bow tag or a gun tag.

As I was saying before...
For me it's not an issue of technology. If it's available and you want to shoot it, go and shoot it, however; in hunter-congested states I think xbows should be limited to gun hunting areas because of their 'point-and shoot' ability.
This isn't to say that walking past an idiot archer with a compound bow in public woods is safer by much, but the person with the compound bow has much more time to think before doing something stupid compared to the same archer(idiot archer in my example)with a crossbow in his hands.
