Hanukkah and Christmas can co-exist without one ruining the meaning of the other. But crossbows can't be used at the same time as archery equipment without it changing what individuals believe to be archery or the 'bowhunting heritage.' Logic, meet window. It's not about facts, numbers, data. It's about personal beliefs of a meaning of a word. Like arguing religion.

Crossbows aren't having the negative effect on deer and or buck numbers that you anti crossbow people claim! 2nd you anti crossbow guys are in the minority now!!! So you can do a couple things! Accept it! Or continue to divide the deer hunting community! Which weakens our stance against the anti hunters!!



You literally just said true bowhunters are the minority now, not sure how that is a good thing at all! In fact its ridiculous and proves the point we are trying to make


No I did not!!!!! Your twisting what I said to suit your personal agenda!! I said anti crossbow people! I know plenty of bowhunters that would never pick up a crossbow to hunt! But they don't care if the next person does choose to!!!!


Youre right sorry , you didnt say that directly but thats the way I took it. Who are the most anti xbow people though ? Makes me wonder why have I bowhunted for 10 years and honed my skills, just so they can change the rules to get more money..

This is true however - im not sure agencies would care or even listen at this point bc its too much money involved.



I am pretty sure Pope & Young does not allow them. I saw a post from them about whether they should be allowed in the books and majority said No. In fact, even older guys that use them said No. So I really cant feel that bad about my beliefs.
