RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
I will call you on your elitist views.
You ARE an elitist - and a hypocrite. You rail against compounds, but you use them. And you advocate crossbows - most likely because you just hurt shoulder and can no longer use either your precious traditional or hated compound bow.

Oh geeeeeeez, didn't you read anything on the past 100 pages ? Son, I'm NOT against compounds, but I could easily be if I use the same exact reeasons you use against crossbows. Its not hard to see it really. If I WERE against compounds then yep, me using one would make me hypocritical.
I'll put your panties in a twist, data. I have a 45# Martin recurve that I added a stick on flipper rest, put a stip of duct tape on the riser so I could stick in a finishing nail as a 20yd pin, and I even use a (shudder) release aid to shoot it. I'm a traditionalist, what can I say? (It is a recurve, right?) By the way, it shoots great!!!

In other words "some of you compound bow shooters need to get off of your high horse" and realize yours is not the only type of bow out there and it's CERTAINLY not what the original BOW HUNTERS had in mind when they started the bow hunting movement many years ago.
Where would YOU be now if everybody took your position back when compounds were introduced?
Hey I shoot an love my compound bow but I'll be damned if I think for one second it's not very and I mean VERY different from long bows. While the differences are not the SAME between the two, compound to long vs compound to crossbow, they EACH still have many many BIG differences

Why don’t we go back to making our own bows? Making our own arrow and tying some flint rock on the end of a stick and then go bow hunting. All this crap about longbows being so much harder than a compound. Traditional????.... if you didn’t go out and cut down the tree and aren’t using store bought arrows and broadheads you aren’t traditional either. Go grab a stick out of a tree.. Kill a bird with a rock glue his feathers to the stick then you will be traditional. Or better yet use a spear. DAD GUM this IS getting silly!
If you can do that then you are the man. as for me i like modern technology. A crowbow aint a bow. that was the point i was trying to make. Not that i am better that a compound hunter.

Here's a though
Ban all sights on bows. Ban triggered releases and make everyone shoot off the shelf. ban pins and scopes on crossbows. ban carbon arrows, allow only woods/aluminum and only cut on impact broadheads. nothing more than 65% letoff. Maybe 50% letoff.
What do ya'll say ?

HAHAHAHA I see that now.....
What can I say, I live in a world of instant gratification! LOL
I need it NOW....not 45 seconds from now! LOL
Do you agree with any of what I said in my last post before I contacted NASA?
I think a study would help the crossbow case a lot more than all this bickering.
They may not work everywhere, but they would probably be alright in most areas.
They actually have my interest peaked, and I want to try one now.....anyone have a free one they can send me? LOL Ill pm you my address if you do.
Think we will make it to 200 pages? I have a feeling a higher authority will step in before then...but it would be neat.
Once I click OK, Ill be adding another one to the steaming pile.....hahhahahha
here goes

back me up here fellas - anybody else not get the distinct impression that ol' Data was definitely against compounds? Or was it only me?
You are a slippery one data - you know I won't bother to go back through 100 pages of bullcrap to extract the 1000 quotes from you that show your anti-compound rhetoric.
Whatever.
