What difference does it make if BB are 54% of the fawns or 50% of the fawns? The fact remains that BB will always comprise 22-24% of the antlerless harvest.

Which are you now claiming to be true?

I like this one:
Sounds like the myth is so VERY true, from his own mouth. But he says it in a way that makes it sound like a positive.
How Clinton-esque!
MYTH: Crossbows are too easy to shoot.
FACT: Experienced rifle shooters can expect to quickly achieve tight arrow groups on targets up to forty yards (the effective hunting range of a crossbow). Is that bad? Isn’t accurate shot placement the goal of all ethical hunting? Does the difficulty of shooting a bow accurately deter people from participating in bowhunting? However, to be successful, a crossbow hunter must master all skills and tactics common to bowhunting.

It's also disturbing that half the posts in that thread are from a crossbow rep.
Trying once again to be fair and open minded, I really would like to see any data collected by the PGC regarding crossbow numbers and success rates in 2B. I think I'llemail a friend that I met from here that is inside the PGC if any such data has been compiled and reviewed

I really think I stumbled onto something here. Look at some of the crossgun proponents' profiles here, and then see where one of the the leading manufacturers of crossbows is from. Ohio keeps popping up. I wonder why??

You just said it was 24% of the FAWN harvest in a previous post.
