    one thing ... they are NOT BOWhunting, they are not hand draw and and hand held in the presence of game .... they have NOTHING to do with BOW hunting and should NOT be in any archery season except for the lame and sickly, they should be placed in seasons with other shoulder held weapons. They are held to the shoulder like a firearm, some have Monte Carlo cheek pieces or adjustable cheek pieces, most shoot well over 400 fps, can be shot off of rests like a rifle, some have adjustable triggers such as rifles/ml's, many have 3x9 or higher magnification rifle scopes, they shoot BOLTS, not arrows .... BOWhunting is not suppose to be easy and is suppose to be a challenge, they are NOT BOWhunting ... period !!

    The Pope and Young Club does not consider the crossbow to be a hunting bow and will not accept any trophies collected by crossbow hunters. Further, the Pope and Young Club considers the use of crossbows during bowhunting seasons to be a serious threat to the future of bowhunting.Jul 13, 2021

    This feels like a spam bot. Even comes complete with technical sounding but ultimately meaningless phrases such as:
    “comfortable assembling”
    “Accurate stroke”
    “Noiseless functions”

    But seriously, why would you give a crap about what any other sportsman does as long as they are legally enjoying the resource? You afraid of competition or is someone going to kill "your" deer? Grow up and move on. Next year I will kill a buck with my crossbow and I will enter it in an archery contest sponsored by a website for archers that is called Bowhunting. lol. And, I will have a great time doing so. It takes a miserable SOB to dwell on my legal method of take.

    cant face the fact the damn things dont belong in BOW seasons ... you must be incapable of reasoning ... it is call BOWhunting for a reason ... if one wants to use 'em, put them in with the rest of the shoulder fired weapons, truly handicapped individuals being the exception ... BOW seasons should be kept BOW season .. the tradition of BOW seasons should be protected ... like I said if one whats to use 'em, put them in with the firearm/ shoulder fired tools for hunters .... the woods are to crowded now, where the early archery seasons used to be nice, quiet and a challenge, now every Elmer Fudd is moving from gun season into it ... keep the tradition vertical (or maybe slightly canted for the stick bow guys) .. seems to me this site IS called BOWhunting.com as it is ...

    CrossBOW. Seems to fit. Lowest hunter recruitment numbers ever because of guys just like you. Competition in the woods does not scare everyone.

    straw man argument .. you failed again ...

    YUUUUGE difference between the two, mine must be Hand Drawn and Hand held in the presence of game ... cant use a rest to shoot from either (like a firearm).... its all about the hunt and challenge ... if I was to have used one of those 'thingys' I easily could have doubled the 90+ deer numbers Ive taken thru the years .... many have walked off (or ran/spooked) as I was trying to draw, THAT in itself IS the challenge ... the best days in the woods are when I dont see/hear nor smell another human, and have game/wildlife around me, not whether Ive taken game ..

    Straw man argument......only your opinion and your want for how you like to hunt. The ONLY reason you have given is because you want the woods to yourself. lol. It would take a simpleton to think we don't all know the differences between a vertical bow and crossbow, and yet you point them out over and over and over ad nauseam. You have a particular way you like to hunt and let me tell ya, you are the only one that gives a rats azz about you and what makes you happy in the woods. But, you want to push your way on others. You sure you are not a Democrat!?? Maybe a Vegan?? Member of the LGBTQ community?? lol. Because that is exactly how you rationalize your position. I have killed over 200 animals with a vertical bow from Mexico to the arctic circle. I also enjoy hunting now with a crossbow because some days I just have to and I am not willing to give up my archery time in the woods. I am old enough to remember when guys like you were throwing a fit about compound bows needing their own season because it was cheating compared to their recurve. Those were compound bows that had all of about 30% let-off and were just about as fast as my old Daisy Red Ryder. Just stop with the Chicken Little routine, the sky will not fall.

    Wow you exposed your entire soft me, me, me, me belly in that rant.
    Love all the definitions you threw out there . The problem is you forgot to add one glaring fact. From their initially being invented. They have been called cross BOWS.
    I also love the fact you threw out the "traditional" bow hunting so many times. All these fancy compounds with high speeds and dial in range finding sights, triggered released are not TRADITIONAL bows nor traditional hunting.

    BOWS must be Hand Drawn (in the presence of game).. Hand Held ... OND, Compound or traditional still must be HAND Drawn HAND held .. they also shoot ARROWS, not BOLTS ... the mfgrs started using 'arrows' in their descriptions to confuse the buying public and as a ruse ... put lip stick on a pig, well, it is still a pig .. CB's vs vertical bows are NOT the same, not even close and I'll still continue to despise the damn things .... btw, I shot both Compounds and Traditional .... I'll never use a CB, even on deaths door step, if my shoulder ever gets bad enough to where I can no longer shoot a BOW, I'll go back to firearms, there is no hiding what they are ....

    And yet, not one of us cares a thing about your imperious ego trip on the subject. But, at least you wont be out in the woods with a crossbow at some point smelling up the woods where some real hunter with a real bow is trying to enjoy himself. :bow:

    Please, tell me again what the difference is.....I'm still a bit confused. :evilgrin:
