RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
Show me a bowhunter of any type who takes a shot at an animal 75 yards away, and I'll show you a moron.
Data, you never been busted trying to draw on a whitetail? Oh, that's right... You said you didn't consider 1 1/2-year-olds any easier than mature animals. That figures.

MQ1shooter - Chuck Adams isn't a moron. Go to the Bowsite and visit the western forums ......... 75 shots are taken - and made - quite often with compounds. Never hear of those shots being taken with crossbows/recurve/longbows though
And I HAVE been busted and often. I don't remember a big buck ever busting me though. The does are the ones that bust - lots of eyes, alert - especially the old mama does. Arguably the smartest deer in the woods
Actually I said that 1.5 year old deer are plenty enough challenge for me with my recurve. The compound isn't nearly the challenge of a recurve, and I passed smaller bucks with the compound that I'd have shot with the recurve.
Do you understand that concept of HUNTING ?

RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
you can shoot a crossbow with one had and one hand only---not a compound
Several guys with one arm have been known to shoot compounds and recurve both. They use their mouth to draw the string back. Its quite impressive ........... I could find a picture and an article if you wish, but yet again datamax has dispelled the silly wives tales that surround crossbows and compounds

I said ONE HAND AND ONE HAND ONLY---no mouth or anything else heeded
for that matter you could shoot two crossbows at the same time ---one in each hand

RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
man i can't wait till next hunting season to get my crossbow out. the way you guys talk is that the deer will run right up to my tree and stop. then the crossbow will jump up lock on to the deer and fire with no chance of a miss. this may be the way it happens to a pea- brain. but sorry to say it does not come that easy. as far as i can see that most of you guys have never shot a crossbow and do not have the slightest idea what you are talking about. hell i know guys that can not hit a deer with a gun let alone a crossbow. and to the guy that worries about drawing his compound and holding it steady to make his shot you better stay on the practice range because you are not ready to hunt yet. that should be something that you do not even have to think about. no brain no pain.

perhaps you can take two crossbows and double your chances that you'll connect
