Ok... well first of all Skeet... lets look at what you have said right here... Rattus..I attribute nothing to you. Your distinctions speak for themselves. I did not state there is any great conspiracy among the bow hunting crowds or the NBEF or any other organization. You can point to the things that make a crossbow so different than a conventional bow...but fail to miss the differences in muzzleloading firearms. It seems the distinctions are missed by you because the parameters don't meet your preconcieved notions. Expand the parameters of your mind and see that the main and really only thing that matters in all my discussion here is that no matter what kind of arm you choose to use.... It's all about the hunting opportunity to me. Flame away all y'all want but I'm done with this thread. As with the anti gun and anti hunting crowds...you can't argue with a closed mind. No matter how large or how small"
You say... "Your" distinctions speak for themselves. Where in this thread ANYWHERE Skeet have I mentioned, as you and Adam have repeatedly, ever said that IN MY OPINION such and such was so.... NO WHERE PAL... I have repeatedly asked you to ask my opinion, you don't, and you don't even in this last post... You are ASSUMING way to much... and when you ASSume things it makes you look foolish especially when you keep doing it over and over.
Oh... the conspiracy.... listen to you.... If you didn't think it was such a big deal, why do you bring up over and over? Do you in fact Skeet EVEN KNOW what the NBEF and the IHEA really are?
You go on again to say that " It seems the distinctions are missed by you because the parameters don't meet your preconcieved notions". What are MY PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS Skeet? Here you are ASSuming again, and you know what that produces don't you... "global warming".. shame on you.
I'm not doing any flaming Skeet, and when you talk about a closed mind, its OBVIOUS that yours is like a steel trap. Everything actually that you have accused me of Skeet is something that you seem to fabricate in your own mind... SO IN THE INTEREST OF ACCURACY SKEET before you run off like a spoilt child, just point out a couple of comments where I have said that any of this is MY OPINION? Where is anything I have published or written here not directly attributed to the NBEF, IHEA, NBEP? These are facts Skeet... and most if not ALL game departments get their insights from these organizations when it comes to ARCHERY EQUIPMENT.. including crossbows.
Oh... back to conspiracy... none of the sponsors of BOWHUNTING EDUCATION have EVER in my limited experience, ever spoke out against a crossbow. Easton is the preeminent manufacture of bolts for the cross bow. Bowsite and the other mags and the camo place... have never in my understanding, which of course is much more limited than yours is as I don't have your hunting experience or expertise, but I have never read anything anywhere against crossbows by those folks... but you OBVIOUSLY have a much wider view than I.
