Crossbows and Compounds

[skeet]

But it's still a bow and not such a good one either. The average person will still stay with a compound or recurve as they are more accurate quicker for a second(or third) shot. If you want to be elitist..then get rid of the 80% and more letoff compounds and the releases and the overdraws and sights. The trouble I have with most of the elitist bowhunters is they want to group the crossbow with a muzzleloader. There is really no comparison and most bow shooters know it. They think they will be put at a disadvantage "competing" with or against crossbow shooters. The crossbow in the hands of the average shooter is slower and probably not as accurate as the bowhunter with compounds with all the bells and whistles. As I said...it's still a bow just as a muzzleloader is just that...no matter what kind of powder or ball it shoots. If the person feels they are at a disadvantage because of the equipment they use...then he's really not such a great hunter anyway at least in his own mind. It ain't us against them you know. It is about enjoying the hunt. The more people we have on the hunting side means there is less chance of the anti's taking it away from us. We ARE a minority of the population, remember!
