Re: BC Proposal to BAN Scopes on Crossbows

Ya I don't get it . If your only reason is that a scope makes it more efficient at making a killing shot and all that matters is making a good shot then we should all be hunting with modern firearms as they are the most efficient. You are quite free to give up your scoped crossbow and use only your...

Re: Need new bolts

I still have records of all arrows made and details so if anyone wants to have some matched they can at leas...

It was their BEST!
And folks that collected them were unlikely to buy another.

That's my story & I am sticking to it!! :angel:

Re: BC Proposal to BAN Scopes on Crossbows

I'm not sure how you can just make a blanket statement that it will increase wounding and loss rates . Might have something to do with a lot of training, experience, and the fact I have been a Range Officer and Firearms Instructor for over 40 years. From that I can and will assure you that even wit...

Re: BC Proposal to BAN Scopes on Crossbows

The point of reducing the effectivness is not for wounding but for the effectivness in killing more game. However you want to gloss over it, the effect this will have on the ground is to increase wounding and loss rates. No other way around it. Period. If the number of harvested animals goes up to ...

Re: BC Proposal to BAN Scopes on Crossbows

Already some rather significant inroads have been made behind the scenes in determining just where this BS originated, and who supported it. There will be some surprises in store for some once that has been collated for all involved. Can't say much more yet, but there will be some rather pointed pub...

Re: Rolling East

Toughest hunt so far ever for us in this region. :wtf: Kind of like the aliens scooped them all up as we are only seeing ~ 10 % of the "usual" numbers despite a mean amount of miles on the boots & trucks. Did manage to tip over a fat and sassy 2 point on our founder's B-Day (Bill T tha...
