That nasty "c" word is tied in with the snobbery of archery. If you shoot a crossbow, you are looked down on. My son was practicing on the local archery range (a municipal facility) and another fellow showed up. When he saw my son was using a crossbow, he put his "pulley machine" back in his vehicle and departed. My son asked me if he ran the guy off. I said "No. He ran himself off". If you take (as in kill) what would be a Pope and Young record animal, they are not considered when you use a crossbow. (My son did that to a very nice 6 point bull elk and proudly hangs his crossbow in the rack.) He likes the crossbow because his family time is very limited due to a long commute each day and he doesn't have to practice with the crossbow every day to stay proficient.
