    What???
    Lol....elitist .... if you are able to use a recurve, you should not be allowed to use a compound ....see how that works...

    Really, some of you can't see the forest through the trees...

    It's when statements are made that they should not be allowed except in.certain situations that it goes beyond how YOU feel. I can't understand why someone cares what someone else hunts with during archery ...

    Look at the jamoke I quoted before you....your statement, while less out there, is about the same....

    I like what someone said about crossbows lacking the draw right before the shot, and the challenges that brings to bowhunting.

    Personally, yes, I think crossbow kills should be labeled as such in record books. But I also think traditional bows kills should be recognized too.
    If each weapon is different enough to employee different hunting strategies based on their attributes, ie, you wouldn't setup outside of twenty yards with a longbow or recurve, outside of about 40 with a compound, and say 80 with a scoped crossbow: or take how long you can hold the shot after the draw- a few seconds, over a minute, indefinitely; then I think each deserves to be recognized when it takes a trophy.
    IMHO, ofcourse.
