The question is: Should those far shooting, quiet vertical bows be allowed?

If we don't hang together as hunters, none of us will be hunting.

They got the blinders on big time. I have had to move on all but one deer I have lined up with the Exocet. I have had to move the bow, my stance, even turn around to face the tree, so how does a cross bow have an advantage over a vert bow you have to draw???? Self destructive idiots.

ive personally found its a lost cause explaining to the compound guys. I love both bows and hunt with both types. Each has a place in archery. Most of the compound guys just are mad because the xbow is another tool that gets more hunters into the woods during their archery only season. Thus, some of the bucks they could get are killed by xbow guys. Its a pure and simple cause of being so up tight and controlling that you dont want other hunters in the woods.

I know the xbow guys need to stand up, but all it does on those boards is cause more issues resulting in members being banned

if most would take a step back and just realize we are all hunters trying to enjoy the sport, the world would be a better place

I 'm a member over there and put my post in. You will never win over the hysterical and ignorant people and AT has more simple minded fanboys than any other site on the net. I use both compound and crossbow as well as firearms and don't plan on dropping any of them.

Very perceptive, Crazy.

That, my friend, is exactly it.
