Hmm, we have a longBOW, recurveBOW, compound BOW, yet a crossBOW ain't a bow?

longBOW gotta draw it in the presence of game, propels an arrow via stored energy in the limbs

recurve BOW gotta draw it in the presence of game, propels an arrow via stored energy in the limbs

compound BOW gotta draw it in the presence of game, propels an arrow via stored energy in the limbs

crossBOW propels an arrow via stored energy in the limbs but is ****ed and ready to go, has a stock and can be shot from a rest

gun ****ed and ready to go. Propels a bullet through rapid burning of a powder, has a stock and can be shot from a rest


It doesnt fit with any othe bow and it doesnt fit with the guns either. It is it's own unique weapon. Why is it such a bad thing to want it treated as a different weapon from either?

Crossbows are for the disabled and people that are too lazy to learn how to hunt with a real bow.
Make it a challenge...give x-guns their own season in February.

LOL gotta love the profanity filter on here!!!!!

I've seen all kinds of language here that got through and when I use the word

c o c k e d

to describe a weapon on a hunting board it gets deleted.

Psssstttt, if you happen to post about a pheasant hunt, make sure you say ROOSTER LOL!!!

BTB I always thought it was you guys starring out the words. Auto filter

The reason boilermaker doesnt answer my question is because he has no clue as of why! I guess crossbow hunters are just as lazy when it comes to learning about the quarry they hunt. Pike

Mr. Boilermaker,
If you had any clue to how much work goes into getting a dog to his master hunting title you would definitely not get into upland game for the reason that it takes alot of time and alot of money to train a dog such as the one in my avatar.And also- you must be more intelligent than the dog which may set the bar too high resulting in failure before you start. His purpose from day one of the creation of his breed was to hunt. Some people's purpose in life was striclty intended for slaughter or to feed other predators on the food chain and the lazy fall into this category. I am glad that disabled pic got under your skin enough to respond. My intent was to bring to the surface your deep rooted feelings of how you don't measure up to what a true archer is therefore needing to even things up by using a weapon that was until this year reserved for the handicapped. Take pride in opting out for the easier method and make sure you pass this onto your children so that my children can end up supporting them as I now support those who want what others have but are too lazy to work to get it by the same means. Enjoy!

Since I am changing my avatar today here is a picture of skilled hunter.

I HAVE A LAB THATS 6 AND A GERMAN SHORTHAIR THATS ONE! YOUR JUST BATTING A THOUSAND! ARENT YA. LOL

If you gotta talk it and display it, you ain't got it my friend. Your type have never scared anyone off and obviously your rants about maniliness and holier than thou woodsmanship claims, and woods ownership made no impression here and obviously no impression in the decision of the BOC. That is all that counts! The BOC. Cast aspersions all over threm mountains and start fights in the bars and sporting goods stores, your vote and hard ass ways didn't count enough to make a difference in the BOC decision. So if you want to lay blame, point fingers look to the guys that voted not the hunters using Xbows. It is obvious that your cave man rants and threats your attitude towards other hunting styles and selfish claim to all the woods doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the majorities eyes. Even your 90% of the people that responded claim did nada, so some other majority has spoken, or the majority of some 900K+ hunters didn't feel threatened by sharing the woods enough to care about sharing and inclusion. Using that logic, not a low number from some 90% of people who responded, it made sense to the BOC to make a positive change for the inclusion of Xbow to PA hunting and starting a new hunting heritage. Over, done and out! I'm hunting w/ Xbow!

Very well spoken mr.buck hunter good luck this season! And i appologize for all the "antis" here!
