As Horton and Tenpoint crossbows are made in Ohio, its understandable that they would be legal there You think those companies were around 30 years ago when they made them legal there Go to Hortons site and it says almost a half a century ago Bernard Horton began working on crossbows so about the time it was legalized there would make alot of sense. :eek: My guess is the other states where they are legal have some similar type influence. With all due respect my guess is that your guess isn't a very intelligent one. Crossbows have been legal here for the last 30 years. and handicapped people can shoot compounds during archery season so there is nothing really for them to complain about. What if there handicap leaves them unable to shoot a compound? :eek::eek: |

RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
Your trying to say the majority of compound hunters would just use a gun if there were just one season for all weapons? Did he really just sell out and grab the compound?? Was it a bunch of B.S. so he can say "hey I used a compound , I have nothing against them"??? The same reason that flyfisherman think that spin fishing is somehow less noble- they want to feel superior. Disregard the fact that the difficult 95% of fishing is just fishing - you know, find the fish, set up on the fish, cast to the fish, etc If traditionalists are flyfisherman, and compounds are spin fisherman, than crossbows are trollers. You still have to find the fish, and once you get one on the line you need to play it and reel it in. But trollers lack a whole series of other fishing skills - casting with precision, setting the hook...you get the idea. Excellent analogy ! My thoughts? You should enter politics in the democratic race. You dont answer direct questions. You hop , skip , jump around , and reply with another question. |

RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
Bigj, thats the only thing I have agreed with you on. Take another 100 pages if you want and blow smoke but your still not a bowhunter using an x-bow. I would say that to your face, your a crossbower, totally two different idenities. Its like talking too a child, good day. Bobby P.S. I know I said I wouldn't repley anymore but I think you guys are just hilliriaus tring to justify that it should be in the same season and you call yourself a bowhunter. I can not tell you how many times in the 35 years of bow hunting that I have done how many times I have been busted while drawing back or having to hold at full draw beyond my capabilities and having too let up. With the crossbowbow you point and shoot, just like a shot gun, and as I said before, Don't call yourself a bowhunter. Take another 100 pages and try again. By the way I am shooting a Kodiak Hunter and a black widow recurve as well as an TRX. 2nd. I have never shot a crossbow in my life. (if you would have actually READ all of my posts you would know that) 3rd. By the way I shoot a Browning Boss Tracker (again, if you would have actually READ all of my posts you would know that too) 4th. I highly doubt you would say that to MY face, Bobby;) Good day to you too. |

ORIGINAL: datamax aeroslinger - Ben Pearson made recurve/longbow and later compoud for decades in crossbow legal AR - FYI  And your point is....?Yes. Pearson is one of the oldest bow companies around. Great company and great bows! :) |
RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
What do you mean "bells and whistles"? sounds kind of silly. front sights peep sights drop away rests over draws cams cables string loops "D" loops trigger releases 32in and smaller A to A wrist slings Stabilizers kisser buttons parallel limbs split limbs machined aluminum and magnesium risers 50% 65% 70% 80% and even up to 99% let offs attached quivers etc.... I don't know about you but I don't recall long bows having any of those "bells & whistles" do you? |
RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
Sounds like you just like to argue. On the one hand you have two bows (compound and cross) that share almost all of the same hightech gizmos but are shot differently. And on the other you have two bows (compound and long) that are shot the same yet share absolutely none of the same hightech gizmos. In both examples the two bows compared are complete opposites from each other but two of them can share a season and the other two cannot? It comes down to this: I feel just because a crossbow is shot differently does not mean it's not a bow, just another FORM of a bow. And I am not alone because the Websters Dictionary thinks the same way I do. |

RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
Even the states that let xbows in DO NOT CALL THEM BOWS. The are in a drifrant class just the same season. mmmmmmmmm I gess thouse states are allso roung.
In Montana any thing that locks your string is no leagal. And as I see it in most states they are not leagal. So I gess all you xbow guys will just have to STAY IN YOUR OWN STATE to hunt with a xbow. |
