[fasteddie]

Sits ---- I notice you only show up to argue or start an argument ........ Do you ever have anything constructive to offer ? You must really miss Doc !!!

[bubba]

I am paying all I can Ed.    But you enjoy your crossbow. I plan to get one too. I will probably sell all my guns.  it is much better then any gun anyway.

[nyantler]

poor crossbow pushers. :'(

[nyantler]

not pushers.. just not crossbow bashers either. We aren't as insecure as you Arrow..

[arrowflinger]

Not as principled either, apparently. :

For sure not elitest.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Wheres my popcorn, this is getting good.... ;D

[nyantler]

principled?

[SPIKER]

i'll be LMFAO when crossbows become legal and a crossbow hunter shoot your buck bub  

Bub? Who are you? Wolverine?

Lol...the language that includes phrases such as "your, or "my" buck" seem to be that of the xgunners.

Nobody is going to shoot "my buck", because I don't have a buck that is "mine" until I kill it.

All these pages, and you pushers still don't get it...why waste my breath...you guys should go over to AT where no one can badmouth xguns without getting banned...you should see the plotters at work.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Oh we get it Spiker. Maybe one of these days you will too, but probably not until full inclusion smacks you in the face.

BTW, people have been saying "Bub" long before it popped into a comic.

For sure.

Let's all compromise our principles to ensure we are not labeled "elitest." :

LMFAO

Further proof you guys are living in the past.

The future is nothing less than the xgunners vs. the bowhunters, and if they include the xgun into the archery season, we have lost.

But, if we can successfully keep inclusion to only the rifle season, and late mz...we will have won, and you will not see many xguns at all after a few years.

And, nice diversionary tactic by only addressing the comic book reference..it was to be expected.

I addressed more than the comic reference, the reference in itself was a diversionary tactic used by you in the first place. Nice try though. Oh, and your comment wasnt directed toward me, I never said anything about the "your deer" deal, so why would I address it? Like I said, nice try. You need to pay attention to who you are talking to lol.

The only reason there is a crossbow vs bowhunter controversy is due to elitist propaganda pushed out by NYB and organizations like it. Living in the past? That is what your crowd is all about, refusing to get with the times, which should be about hunters supporting each other, not organizations that divide the hunting community like NYB has been doing with the crossbow issue and elitist attitudes.

Nonsense.  The controversy has been created by crossbow pushers like you who demand that crossbows be allowed in bow season.  NYB is simply trying to protect bow hunting and bow hunters. 

Remember, crossbows have always been illegal.  It is preposterous that you would blame NYB for creating the controversy.

Support each other?  LMFAO.

Then crossbow hunters should support bowhunters, too.  The door swings both ways.  An easy way to do that is to find a different season, instead of forcing their way into ours, where they have always been illegal, where they will never belong.

[fasteddie]

I am moving over to the Dark Side and joining the Cross Bow revolution . I have had enough of the time loss by practicing with a compound and the 30 yard shots . I am ready for the scoped X-Bow and drop those bolts in at 100 yards . YeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa  !

Crossbows are archery equipment with similar limited ranges as their vertical bow counterparts, and that is the bottom line. Your refusal to acknowledge that makes no difference, facts are facts. All that crossbow proponents want is for all archery equipment to be included right where it belongs, in archery season.

Keep flapping your gums, we wont have to listen to it for much longer. LOL

[arrowflinger]

We buy a "bowhunting" stamp, not an "archery" stamp.

Let the lazy turds learn to bowhunt, if they want to be in bowseason.

By the way....what makes you think full intrusion will stop the controversy?

Crossbow hunters will ALWAYS be second class citizens, considered cheaters by real bowhunters and the general public.

[growalot]

WNY ...you keep saying that but with the responses you and other Xbow supporters have given ..you make a very compelling argument as to why all hunters and land owners ....hikers and recreationist should speak up against them...and perhaps seeing I haven't read or heard a word from the NYB association on the Xcross bows...for I don't care to have any organizations putting their  thoughts in my mouth ....I should go about the business of getting hunters and non hunters to voice their oppinions on this....you may find you have less supporters than you thought

Perhaps not enough out door ppl realize this controversy is happening...or that they aren't being given the proper opportunity to consider this inclusion ...and what effects it may have on their public land use areas ... That they have a mere 2yrs to rally and speak up to give their opinions....Maybe they don't realize that large organizations with delegates have more to say than they do and if you don't belong to an organization you have to fight to make your voice heard ....Yes ...Thank You for the push...I have some work ahead of me ....

[nyantler]

LOL.. can't believe how how you two are so threatened by another hunting weapon... wow the NYB has really got you guys brainwashed...

[arrowflinger]

It has nothing to do with being "threatened."

Crossbows have no business in bowseason.  If people want to bowhunt, they should learn to use a legal bow.

This isn't rocket science.

[nyantler]

And you are entitled to your opinion... but thats all it is.. your opinion.

[arrowflinger]

And you are entitled to your opinion... but thats all it is.. your opinion.

Ditto.

[sits in trees]

i'll be LMFAO when crossbows become legal and a crossbow hunter shoot your buck bub

I'll be LMFAO until then at the lazy whiners sitting at home pining for a crossbow while the rest of us are out bowhunting.

yea boy, come huntin with me and i'll drag yer arse thru the woods baby

[arrowflinger]

Sure you would. :
