[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 199529, member: 5993"] I have a ten point with crank Cocker and a rope Cocker. Because of my titanium and plastic back I,can’t pull a bow anymore, but I absolutely hate the crossbow except maybe for sitting in a deer stand. At least it get me out there, but for spot and stank,crossbows are big and clunky and awkward and catch on every twig our branch, ate heavy, etc. The bow people complain about crossbows being too easy to use out of the box and they are absolutely correct!!! I’ve never even adjusted the sights on mine, and it will shoot 1 inch groups out to at least 30-40 yards, the farthest I fell one shoot shoot. I hate wounding anything! I almost vomit when I read about using crossbows to nail deer at 100 - 200 yards, etc. I’m afraid crossbow hunting will go down the same tube as muzzleloading hunting. If the G and F or regular blwhunting people want to level the playing field I’d recommend outlawing ALL glass and electronic sights on crossbows (like Colorado) and allowing only mechanical sights like the average bowsight has. Two falls ago I tried to find a mechanical sight to use in COLO and thought I could throw that stupid aim point sight in the garbage but finally found one after the season ended. Crossbows are fine for the truly disabled or old and infirm, but I can predict nothing but pictures of 100 hard shot deer coming up. Might be progress, but let’s not make things,too,easy. And yes, I’m an old fashioned idiot. Make it too easy to get a crossbow permit and you make as well make them legal anytime, anywhere and ruin bowhinting forever! Like muzzyhinting! LOL [/QUOTE]
