who is this DORK guy ? I missed those posts I guess ??

Where was the comebacks on the 10X increase in bowhunters NOT affecting NH bowhunting season ? But the fear of a mere 30% increase is just too much to even consider ??

LOL ................ talk about gettin ya there eh buddy ?

can see from all the difrant post YOU 3 are some of the very few that think as you do. Most do not think the xbow and bow are the same at all.
Odd how 100% of the people for it are from crossbow states and 100% of the people against it are from non-crossbow states isn't it?

Which 3 is he talking about? I thought there were more than that who don't think crossbows are Evil Herd Destroying Machines of Mass Destruction (EHDMOMDs). Do we need to take roll or something?

Do you really think your going to get somewhere with that?

Man, I wish we had a 12 gauge with an effective range of 200 yards up here in the North - We're a little behind in technology.
Are you kidding me again???

Yes I think I am going to get somewhere with that post because it's TRUE!!! all of what I said. Tell me what part is not true?

As far as the slugs go...you just showed me just how much you know about the tools you use. You can consider yourself a slob hunter now.

The FACT is that the Winchester Supreme Partition Gold Sabow slugs that exit the muzzle at 1900fps at 385grns have a KILLING range of 200yds easy! Don't belive me LOOK it up....slob There is a published report of how a slob hunter killed a HORSE at over 200yds with one....you probably know him.

I bet a bullet from a 30 .06 can kill a horse 2 miles away - that doesn't make the effective range two miles

You're calling me a slob hunter because ethically I believe the effective killing range of a 12 gauge to be less than 100 yards?

I bet a crossbow could fling an arrow 75 yards - but that doesn't mean the effective range is 75 yards



Hey - I'll raise your slob hunter comments and throw in unethical and Peta lover - HA !

Your ignorance is showing! I am not going to get into a debate about the effective range of the new Sabow slugs on the market today. If you want to learn something...look it up there is plenty of information out there to find. If not stay.....ignorant and stay away from me in the field!

No I'm calling you a slob hunter because you refuse to LEARN about products before you use them. I hope for Gods sake you don't use the new Sabow slugs in your gun thinking they are only effective out to 100 yards. Because I have killed deer at 170-210yrs with complete shoulder pass throughs and the deer dropped like a stone where he stood! Now you may never have a problem because I would hope you think about whats past your target. But not taking the time to FULLY understand the capabilities of your equipment in my eyes makes a person a slob hunter. It's what you people loath about most gun hunters in the first place right? "weekend warriers" right?

Hey

Why don't you read my entire post - I understand that a bullet from a 12 gauge can kill something two hundred yards away. When I talk about effective range I am refering to the reccommended distance at which it is ethical to shoot game.

Some of you idiots just like to read what ever suits your argument.
