Always the problem. Although we can all agree that crossbows should be allowed for those who need them, the water always gets muddied by those who want to extend the advantage to everyone, including those who definitely do NOT need them. Jettison those leeches, and you got a case.

LOL Trying to understand the relevance. Oh....there is none.....nevermind.

You would argue the fact that you shoot a crossbow exactly as you would shoot a gun? Really?

Agreed....truth be damned.

You refuse to acknowledge that the bowseason is a special season, and I am lacking a legit argument? LMAO

You are kidding, right? If you are not informed enough to understand why bowseason is considered a special season, you are not qualified to even discuss this matter. Please dismiss yourself.

You should be ashamed of yourself......really. And yet I'm not.. so that's your agument? that I should be ashamed of myself??..lol.. you're killin' me here... and I'm suppose to take you serious? Guess I have to spell it out for you...the bow season is a "special" season. You trying to spin only the late season as a special season is shameless. Am I supposed to take you seriously?

Correct. It is not. It is shouldered, aimed, and shot like a gun. General season it is.

You should be ashamed of yourself......really.

they do share a common season.. just not the special season... crossbows need not be added the the special bow season at the end of the year, just the regular bow season Shameless spin. For those spectating, let's be clear. Rifles are not allowed in MZ season. Equivalently, crossbows should not be allowed in bowseason.

No, its fair game. There are different classes of guns, Some deserve a special season. There are different classes of "archery" equipment,.....some deserve a special season. Some don't.

Not good enough. Centerfires and MZ share a common propulsion source...yet we maintain a separation. There is no precedent to assume that propulsion means is reason enough to share a common season. Draw locks are illegal for me. YOU cannot draw my bow for me...my point stands.

Is this a joke? "there is absolutley no way that a crossbow would have any impact on any other bowhunters experience in the field during the bow season" I never said it did. it doesn't have the range of a gun or the shocking power of a gun so that argument is flawed I never said it did. that fact that it can be cocked in advance gives no advantage that would disrupt another bowhunters experince while hunting so that argument is mute as well I never said it did. Who the hell are you debating? Do you always make up your opponents point of view to suit your agenda?ROFLMAO

I am being triple teamed, so be patient. If you have a relevant question, ask it again.

Draw locks are illegal....for the exact same reason that crossbows are. Drawing matters. As to your other points....we need to do the same things if we want to hunt deer with a .44mag revolver. You would not suggest we allow handguns into bowseason...would you?

We are calling a spade a spade, right? You do not have to draw your "bow." I can do it for you, days in advance if necessary. You can not draw mine for me....when it matters.

I was called one straight up....you did not object then? No doubt a compound helps you hold the draw weight.....but you have to DRAW the weight. And hold some weight. Crossbow....locked and loaded. No stress. How is this not an advantage? It is disingenuous.

Yea....I don't think you are telling the truth.

Its not personal, so lets not make it "you" having an advantage. Not having to draw is a significant advantage....you disagree? It is what makes bowhunting bowhunting.....yet you need not do it with a crossbow.

LOL. You pro crossbow guys are funny. You personally attack....and complain against personal attacks. You insist on making it about my bowhunting experience. I continually to tell you it is irrelevant. It would not matter if the neighbor hunted with a crossbow...are you happy, now? Of course, it would not matter if the neighbor hunted with a .270.....but I suppose that doesn't matter, since it does not fit your agenda. As I said....it is irrelevant to the issue.

Irrelevant.

You have no business speaking for me....I am perfectly capable of doing so myself. Then answer the question that you still haven't answered... any crediblity that you might have had when this thread started is slowly diminishing My viewpoint is clear. If you ask relevant questions, they will be answered. If you ask irrelevant questions, they will be ignored.

I haven't seen anyone yet who doesn't agree that crossbows for the disabled is overdue. Now....let's call a spade a spade. Crossbows are advantageous over compounds. If they weren't....you would be hunting with a compound. No problem. If someone needs the advantages of a crossbow to allow them into the woods, more power to them. The problem comes when people advocate that those same advantages be extended to everyone....people who do not need them to have access to the woods. If physically able folks want to be in the woods, they can....with NO rule changes.
