Crossbows and Compounds

[rattus58]

Being that I shoot a recurve and longbow, I was quite surprised by the response I got from some about introducing crossbows for hunting in Hawaii. One organization I got a response from was the professional bowhunters society from their "Anti-Crossbow" Chair in fact, Mark L. Scott.

The more I researched (crossbows are illegal in Hawaii right now) the more I found a lot of incongruity of their position, as well as the positions of NBEF and IHEA on the topic.

My b i t c h comes from the arguments I have received from these organizations about crossbows, without them addressing that compared to a recurve, a compound bow is no different than a crossbow for HUNTING.

Any comments on this?
