BB i use a old long bow was my grandfathers the first day minimum . I have my first bow a working recurve. my latest a martin compound. I have got a buck every year since 76 not all with a bow thou.
So when you really want to kill a buck you use the Martin Compound?

Are you saying that you're OK with this kind of thread as representation of new crossbow hunters?

What I am saying is that I am disgusted with the likes of you trying to negatively catagorize a certain group and then making false assumptions about everybody else and then saying that we are all just like them.

Didnt say or mean that at all.

All I said was that the worry that the crossbow would attract some hunters who were only looking for the "easy" way or a shortcut appears to have been a valid one. This thread proves it.

I sheet you NOT. I was driving into the plan where I live and came to a stop sign at a three way intersection. There are about 6 houses within 150 feet of that intersection. My wife said "Did you see that?" A guy was shooting a x-bow out of his driveway, across the road at the intersection and into a target on the bank of his neighbor's front yard. Then he walked across the road and retrieved his bolt. I sat there just looking in astonishment. He looked at us like.."What? WTH are YOU looking at?".

I think I speak for more than a few when I ask if a hunter who is not disabled and wanted to hunt in archery season and till now they had not done so but with the new law, they now will be hunting their first bow season with a crossbow........ What were they waiting for if not the "easy way" ???

Crossbows are for the disabled and people to lazy to learn how to hunt with a real bow.

Maybe something they were more comfortable with.........You know why did I marry a blonde and you a redhead? It was a preference. Because I hunt w/ a Xbow makes me no less a hunter or sportsman than you. Why do some prefer a stick over an automatic, why do some hunters use an auto over a pump shotgun or a OU over a side by side, because they are lazy? BTB please! Again name calling because it's all you have left. We will be in the woods.
