    **** it.. Put on a loin cloth, cover yourself in mud and animal shit, make a spear and hunt that way.. Is that traditional enough?

    I tend to agree with the laws here in Alberta.

    If you have a disability that hinders you from use of a bow. Fill out the paperwork, and hunt with a crossbow.

    But otherwise. Keep em in rifle season.

    Lots of 100+ yard compound bow kills on YouTube. Sorta makes you wonder if crossbows actually provide a real technological advantage.

    Sorry. But this set up belongs in rifle season.

    I'm with you on that Jordan only people that I feel should be using them in archery season is someone with a physical disability or I feel that if it can keep the older 65+ out there that can't draw the #40 min anymore then that would be alright

    Yes you’re long history of believing all hunting should be GOS and any form of weapon restrictions is bad I expect everything you can find to support xbows in archery season you will Gate

    Just like you have stated LEH is better than any weapon restrictions

    continue on lol

    Re: Are Crossbows Threatening the Tradition of Bowhunting?

    "distance" is only one factor. And I am pretty confident any distance by a compound bow can be met, or surpassed, by a crossbow.

    But crossbows also have magnified scopes, shooting sticks to stabilize, the ability to "cock and wait" for an extended period of time, a much easier "learning curve", etc...
