[QUOTE="NodakBuckeye, post: 148787, member: 714"] Good stuff. Used a compound and a crossbow in my previous life in Ohio. To me, the line between crossbows and compounds vanished a long time ago. With the left offs, cams, releases, carbon arrows, etc..., today's compounds are a far cry from what archery used to be. Seems like 50 to 70 yard shots are fairly common. You still have to practice, still have to put in the effort of scouting, still have to get in close, still have to make a good shot. Would love to see these guys and gals on tv lose their tricked out compounds and pick up a recurve or long bow and use it. Maybe for muzzleloader we get rid of all the inlines and go flintlock only? Maybe that would save a couple hundred deer from getting killed each year. Just make them legal for everyone, crossbows are not the instant death rays, 100 % killing machines many think they are. Too bad people get so worked up about opening up a way for more people to hunt when our ranks are thinning out. [/QUOTE]
