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.
First, I didnt call any names and second, I asked a legitimate question.
If you like, I'll rephrase it....
As it pertains to NEW crossbow hunters in PA who have, till now, not attempted to hunt with archery equipment in archery season, what is the sudden attraction to the xbow if not the ease with which one can learn to shoot it effectively and the ease of not having to draw the bow in the presence of game. Your answeer of personal prefernece doesnt wash when talking about those that have never tried conventional archery tackle but now have an interest in hunting that season with a crossbow.
Another question BH1...... Do you condone and agree with the kind of mindset and thinking that started this thread???

Are you one of those "lazy" bow hunters that use a compound bow? You know the ones with cams that provide "let off" so it makes it easier.more comfortable.more accurate? Get a stick and string! Man up!

I happen to have and shoot a recurve, a longbow, a compound and a crossbow. Have shot all of em and taken game with all of em. (Deer with all but the longbow)
The step from recurve/longbow to a compound pales in comparison to the huge freakin leap to the crossbow in terms of learning to shoot it and the ease of using it in the presence of game

I shoot a compound till this year.(broken arm) just bought a crossbow for this season. Shooting by instinct is harder than fiber optic (multiple pins) do we rant on them next? P.s real men carry crossbows!they are heavier to hump through the bush!
