You tell him 1865, I think Double Creek sounds like a TRIPLE A-- HOLE. .. There is a lot of us disabled hunters out here who have just as much right here as anyone. He best not speak to soon , for the Good Lord may someday disable him to the point where he will have to use one if he wishes to continue BOW HUNTING .

BG i had that one shot deal happen to me this year when i was hunting with the crossbow with a decent 6 pointer that came in from the opposite way it was soppossed to and i missed him and couldn't get a second shot like these anti-bowers with their string silencers that do get that second shot

elkcrazedfrk-- i do have money to mantain it its just getting started i could put some 50 dollar broadheads on it if i wanted to it is just that i don't want to spend 500 dollars on a left handed bow which i don't know how itsots when i can get a abidextrous crossbow for 200 and know it will shoot well and kill a deer i mean put a serious wuupin on a deer because the deer i shot this year ran about 50 yards and i put about a hole the size of a baseball in its side with mechanicals so i don't think the deer had to suffer to long

Whats up with some of you talking bad about xbows?! hes just trying to ask a simple question. i mean sure i dont like xbows either but this is the BOWHUNTING forum and they have just as much right to be here as you do.

Yeah ! And that goes for you to BG.

Seems the only lip is yours and its YOU who's gotten it for posting biased, ignorant statements. Isn't that ironic ? The old P&Y "hate the crossbows" pledge of yesteryear is gone. Guys shooting crossbows work just as hard as you do, and they still have to get within 20 yards of the deer. the ONLY thing that changes is the moment of the shot, which is in itsself not easy because of the bulk, the weight, the noise etc etc

Isee both sides of the crossbow arguement. I have no prob with someone hunting with one as long as they used to be an archer. My problem is up here now you are having alot of middle aged men that are going to the doc getting the dissability permit going out and buying a Xbow and think that they are carrying their 30.06. Never been in the woods with a broadhead. I know of 6 deer that were killed last year with xbow darts in them most of the bolts were in the hind quarters(from the rear i might add). So for a former archer with a lagite injury no prob have at it man!!!! To the 50 yr old faker that thinks he can shoot a running deer in the brush at 50 yds no stick to your guns man!!!!

TeeJay I think the bow you use makes you a bowhunter wannabe


how do you like that ?

Please explain datamax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tee Jay ,
Datamax is a trad shooter and he's baiting you .

Every discipline has it's share of slobs , including crossbows . If you see a slob wounding deer , regardless of what's in his hands , report him .

I agree kevin but i still dont quite understand the wannabee coment and still waiting for an explanation!!!!
