A crossbow vote is up on General Archery Discussions
Please vote one way or the Other
its about a 10 year yeao old kid kid in Maryland killed by his crossbow getting down froma tree in October
I maintain Crossbsows are more dangerous than compounds bows
his question was "if he was using a compound, would he still be alive today?" he is obviously against crossbows....
***************************************************************
Q: Why did God make crossbow hunters?
A: To give compounders someone to feel superior to.

Crossbows may not belong in the firearm catagory but IMO they don't belong in the archery catagory either. So lets get to distingushing tackle before I resort to name calling!!
If crossbowmen want to stand alone, in a class of their own, with a hunting season of their own then show me where to sign!! I'll even donate some of my hard earn $$$ to make it happen!!

No. No bow arm to control,no release(fingers or mech.) to deal with, just aim and squeeze the trigger...a child can master one in minutes.

The cross bow, as has been pointed out many times, is more akin to a low powered rifle
***************************************************************
The reason it will affect the season is that a large number of people who didn't want to take the time needed to use a stickbow will go out and buy x-bows and run out into the woods not possesing the experience needed to use it. No matter what your opinion on crossbows, novice shooters will look at a crossbow and say man that looks easy, just point and shoot. Thus filling the woods with people that have no business being there in the first place.

I think crossbow hunters are dumb.
I think crossbow hunters are lazy.
I think crossbow hunters are worse than poachers...

Does anybody know who invented the crossbow?
It was the late late ancestors of PETA. They designed it to make hunting easier so that there weren't as many wounded animals. When the figured out that there were actually more animals being wounded by crossbows than by vertical bows, they had to change their stance. They continued to manufactur crossbows so that they can use the crossbow vs. verticle bow debate going between archers so that they can have more fuel to outlaw hunting all together.
How's this one...Crossbow hunters love PETA...
just figured id post this because i ever thought that "archers" were so against crossbow users who arent disabled...
funny how ive never heard of people in ontario putting down crossbows like some of those americans
