  1. How old are compound crossbows (by far, the majority sold) spin Doctor? (Perhaps the significance is lost, to a couple here.)
  2. I would willingly give up a portion of MY deer season to make room for crossbows, but keep bow season separate. What say you now, Mr. Know-it-all?
  3. ROFLMAO You're kidding right? Right? You guys started it, and have hurled 3X the insults......and you want to blame ....me? LOL LMAO ROFLMAO
  4. I know that you cannot honestly believe that aiming a gun or crossbow is the same as aiming a compound. I know that you cannot honestly believe that pulling the trigger on a gun or a crossbow is the same as shooting a compound, even with a release. The question is irrelevant. There is principle involved.
  5. The other mechanical function? You hold it aim it, and shoot it like a gun. You do not have to hold it, draw it, aim it, or shoot it like a bow. Black......White. Apple......Orange. Only bows in bowseason....thank you very much.
  6. It doesn't belong in bow season because of your very thoughts....it is more like a gun than a bow in its operation. If people want to hunt with a bow...let them, and welcome. I'd like to see more BOW hunters, so you're "won't share the woods" theory is clearly wrong. But asking....no, DEMANDING that the rules be changed to allow a weapon that is fundamentally different than a bow....you are darn right. I am opposed.
  7. So this is your thinking....that a crossbow is more like a gun than a bow in its operation.... and you leap to the conclusion that anyone against it doesn't want more people hunting? How about the fact that it is more like a gun than a bow? :
  8. I do not understand the reasons why those of you who support crossbow intrusion do so, either. Seems like a level playing field....guys should quit whining.
  9. You have wasted your time and my time by criticizing a term that means to speak bluntly, and try to insinuate that I am racist. Why did you feel this an important thing to do? I will correct myself....it wasn't a waste of time because you learned, in fact, that it is not a racist statement. Glad I could help educate you.
  10. We were talking about revealing one's identity as an NYB official as a poster on this website. Please try to keep up.
  11. From Wikipedia: The phrase predates the use of the word "spade" as an ethnic slur against African-Americans, which was not recorded until 1928; however, in contemporary U.S. society, the idiom is often avoided due to potential confusion with the slur.[1] "often due to potential confusion" is political correct pyschobabble, not a racist remark. I'll keep using the term....you'll just have to get over it.
  12. How is that you figure this? You aren't making any sense.
  13. Nice edit to save your self from looking entirely foolish. I see we were both wrong, but I was closer. The phrase predates American Slavery by centuries. Is it racist that you considered it racist?
  14. You are OK at insulting people, too, but not as good as Steve.
  15. I agree. I have no problem with that....allow it for those who need it. Keep it illegal for those who do not.
  16. So if it takes less practice to be proficient, then it must be more than "a bit easier." Like I said....you are contradicting yourself. ;D It is not. It refers to cards...would you feel more comfortable if we said "let's call a diamond a diamond" or "a club a club." I will wait for your apology.
  17. Look at the vitriole that you and a few others have displayed here. It is not a significant stretch of the imagination to believe that some crossbow advocates would resort to violence. Besides....its really none of your business who holds what position, if any, in NYB.
  18. You are contradicting yourself. If they are only "a bit easier to shoot," then there should not be a significant difference in in "the time to practice properly" with a crossbow, meaning crossbowers would fare no better than a compounder who didn't have time to shoot. Your logic falls short...again. This is a weak attempt at humor, right?
  19. Can't be too careful nowadays. Whacky activists can cause all kinds of trouble.
  20. I am a bowhunter that has hunted with compounds and recurves. I am associated with NYB and P&Y, and by association, NABC. I think anyone physically able to use a bow but chooing a crossbow instead is a pathetic lazy slob.
  21. Its irrelevant, Mr B. What is your affiliation with the American Crossbow Federation?
  22. Not in the bill. In this thread....... like sitsintrees. :
