RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
"The hand held bow has one characteristic that distinguishes it from a crossbow or any type of firearm. The internal ballistics are a function of the shooter, his or her physical geometry and capabilities, shooting form, consistency and reaction to stress and trauma. In the crossbow and firearms, the internal ballistics are fixed. The action of the shooter in triggering a release of energy does nothing more than initiate a process that is consistent and repetitive."

"Exactly the same" doesn't usually leave much wiggle room.

RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
Gotta love it BigJ. I live in NY, and OUR definition is as follows: (from the 2004 Hunting and trapping syllabus) Bow - Includes long (stick), compound, or recurve bow That's MY legal definition....and you walked right into it. Can we get past this already, or do I have to say it another seven times? |
RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
LOL - a crossbow is a bow, like it or not. Two working limbs and a string to propel an arrow. BTW - a crossbow bolt IS an arrow (I love guys arguing that too !) I thought we may have got BigJ though. He's smart, well read and he at one point reponded to reason. But we lost him to. He thinks a crossbow is a bow. A "type" of bow just like a recurve, compound and long. Not a completely different weapon, but an actual bow. Well you can't save them all. On the flip side, it's been cool hearing about the football stuff. Did you hunt in college? Probably not with that demanding schedule .. but what a state for wildlife! |

Exactly the same" doesn't usually leave much wiggle room. If someone says two things are exactly the same EXCEPT something, it means there IS a difference. It means that there is an exception to be looked at. Understand? I can't believe I HAD to say that.:eek: |
RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
ORIGINAL: BigJ12 First it was "A crossbow is a firearm" remember?....... I shot that down. Now it's "well it's not a firearm but still not a bow" and I will shoot that down as well. Because you can post till your heart's content all of the OPINIONS you want, it still wont change the Legal definition. Damn, you are not representin' well for BYU tonight. LEGAL definition would be what the state definition is, right? |
