  1. Here is what the Triple Crown results from 2009 through 2013 would look like if the "Men's Bohunter Release" class and the Crossbow class competed head to head. Granted, they do shoot at different times, but they both shoot the course from the "green stake", thus they shoot the same distances at the same targets. Note: Crossbow scores are highlighted in green. If crossbows are so much easier, more powerful and more accurate, why aren't the top of each years results all crossbow shooters? Why is the crossbow at the top spot only once in 5 years? Why is it only twice the crossbow would have had 2 people place in the top 10?

  2. Yep, they make them so compound shooters don't have too much advantage over crossbow shooters. They help equal the playing field. Did you forget to comment on the 104 yard compound shot at the mule deer? That is offhand with a compound bow. yet the crossbow shooter is on a bench. HHHMMMM. Crickets!!!!
  3. I will agree that the Excalibur is a nice simple design, but some of them will not be legal. They included in the crossbow language a max 200 lb draw weight limit. Many of the new Excaliburs exceed that limit. Make sure you understand the regulations prior to purchasing a new crossbow so you don't buy something you can't use.
  4. You are correct, it's not simple math, it's actually highly sophisticated Physics. Shooting from a rest in a controlled environment at known yardages is much easier than in a hunting environment. What you don't see in your video is the arrow trajectory has an arc of 5 1/2' at 100 yards from a Tac 15. Here is a link to the data showing that the arrow would drop over 10 1/2' @ 100 yards. Don't believe me run the calculator yourself. http://nycrossbowcoalition.com/myths-facts-presentations/index.php Then check out the following video And then this one Now tell me again that only crossbows are capable of shooting 100 yards! And BTW, I would never recommend anyone taking that mule deer shot. There are too many things that can go wrong past 40 yards resulting in a wounded animal.
