fair enough was just curios was going to invest in a excalibure myself my crossbows are 30 yard speacials.

I personally hate using crossbows ...
Now that said ... they are archery equipment, They are propelled by string power, Yes they can cocked and locked(there are products on the market you can do that with compounds and recurves as well)

I know they were left out of archery season in Alberta about 20 years ago, they were included in Albertas Archery season 10-12 years ago, Has the pendulum swung again??

while I haven't personally been shooting my bows as much as I should be lately, When I was on top of my game I had the same range as any cross bow out there with my compound, just like anything else , when you take the human factor out of a properly tuned piece of equipment it will cloverleaf or better at 100 yrds all day long

No. Just simply more rumors circulated by one who does not know.

The Alberta Bow Association would have a catastrophic aneurysm before ever allowing crossbows into their regular archery seasons (without a Certified Disability Ticket that is).

Yep. I well recall the Mutter Family in Southern Alberta Showing Us How, 100 yards was eyeball material.
And that was one hell of a long time ago!

When I moved out of Alberta it was in the talks and the ABA of the time was warming up to it

Obviously those talks did not come to fruition

I don't know any Mutter Family of Southern Alberta ... Mustve been long...Loooong before my time.

Some just Bitch for the sake of Bitching


I get bitched at because I own a SXS and I hunt with a Bow ... You get used to it after a while

I think the point some are making is that being a bowhunter is more an approach and a state of mind rather than a weapon or a season. But on here (HBC), just like in life, there are closets that people hide in. Don't want to mention they enjoy bowhunting and bow seasons, because they don't want to get labeled and accused of something.
