new crossbow hunting ?

[Islander]

Onesock......it sure can be frustrating dealing with people sometimes. I personally agree with everything youv'e said and definitely IBEP is a must for all new archery hunters. especially crossbow hunters because they are so much different than a bow. And FYI everyone I have Known Kirk for about 15 years now and he does know what hes talking about I hunt Whitetails with him every year and respect his opinion immensely. Some of you should do the same. Islander

Why? Because you say so?

Frankly, his opinions are narrow minded, short sighted and exclusionary.

Nobody said get rid of the crossbow. All we are asking is that you learn how to use them efficiently, effectivelly and ethically The IBEP will benefit everyone. Just my opinion Islander

Is it just me or does everyone have an ichy trigger finger???

Onesock doesn't want them used in bow season.

I agree that a cross bow is easier to master than a regular bow, however effective range is similar for both.An arrow is an arrow, and chances are you are going to have to follow a blood trail with either one.Any responsible hunter can figure this out and isn't going to take a unreasonable chance on a animal getting away.My opinion, like it or lump it, leave arrows together in thier own season, or in the GOS.

Posted: Mar. 16 2007,8:44 I had to vent somewhere. The HBC site and the x-bow thing is going on again and I have to support x-bows for the UBBC. Only here can I say how I really feel and x-bows should be in the GOS. I wish the gov'y would hurry up and outlaw them so I could quit kissing ass.

I don't expect the gov'y will be hurrying up to exclude archers using legal archery equipment from a legal archery season. So, pucker up Kirk.
