Crossbow debate
 

Everyone,

I have not heard anyone mention crossbows on here, in quite sometime. Maybe it is because it is a trad. bowhunting forum? :D

What are your thoughts on them? Agree with their use? Just tolerate them? Love them? It is mostly the old school crowd that doesn't respect them? This debate has always fascinated me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Come on man, don't bring that crap in on this page.

there is a crossbow section. Take it there.

RE: Crossbow debate
 

big,

No crap intended, at all. Just looking for input and different perspectives. I've never got a trad. gear persons input on this. I assume it is con, but I'd like to hear why. Who knows, we might learn something!

RE: Crossbow debate
 

Some don't like them and some do like them. I for one don't care for them. There not "bow" enough to me to be considered a bow. Each to there own though.

RE: Crossbow debate
 

There's been a lively discussion or two on this board. I'll see if I can find one.

I hear you Steve. I am all for them, but they are not a bow. At all. It needs another name.

RE: Crossbow debate
 

You mean to tell me, your not smart enough to do a search on the multiple dozens of crossbow debate threads in the bowhunting forum???

You have posted this crap on 3 forums so far. Why? Nothing ever good comes of it.

RE: Crossbow debate
 

Very true!

Looking for different perspectives. I've never heard a trad gear persons perspective on crossbows. I could suspect things, but I'd rather hear it from the horses mouth. That is how we learn. Open-minded people.

Different people visit different Forums. I'm sure you know that, 16000 posts in.

You're a pretty cozy fella. :D

RE: Crossbow debate
 

So what do you plan on learning? What good is going to come from this new found knowledge you will have?

Sure different people visit different forums. But there is a reason why there are different forums for different subjects. i wouldn't have a problem if you had a trad question. But you don't.

RE: Crossbow debate
 

No trad question, but I'd like to hear trad views.

I plan on learning some trad. views on crossbows. I would assume that most are not for them. Why? Are any of you for them? Indifferent?

RE: Crossbow debate
 

I believe crossbows don'tbelong inbow/archery season.They just don't fit my idea of what constitutes a bow.

RE: Crossbow debate
 

I would agree with that. Stick and string? Sure. But not a bow.

While I am certainly not against people using them, the term "crossbow" isn't the right term, IMO.
