Rattus, I am not trying to compare a longbow or recurve to a compound, I have shot both, and know the difference. I am ore to the point ot the differences in a cross bow vs a compund, which are to many.
One thing I have found with the different bow hunting orgs I am in.. everyone is against the cross bow in the bow only season.
It may happen one day, and it might be the day I stop bowhunting, as the reason I stared was to extend my season, and enjoy the outdoors without a bunch of people drive around like I see during rifle season. Add the cross bow in, and that might be what happens.
BTW I have recruited quite a few of my rifle hunting friends to bow hunting, and 99% of them feel the same way I do.
THe crossbow/compund argument is not something anyone will really agreee with.
I look at the cross bow as a shoulder fired short range weapon that is ready to fire at any time, where a compund is a hand drawn and held (even with high let-offs) that can't be drawn until you are nearly ready to shoot. There is a big difference right there.
