Rattling I think you are missing why people like myself shoot crossbows. I lost most of my left shoulder and can't shoot a bow at all. So does this mean I should not be able to hunt?

Are we having fun yet?
Yes, you should never be allowed to hunt ever again! lol
Sorry, I did forget to mention that. One of my mentors in the sport had terrible arthritis and used a crossbow.
Thank you!! so now everyone feel guilty and stop buggin' crossbow guys. For the record I shoot tons and tons of sticks threw mine and think everyone needs to.

The crossbow give a hunter one decent shot at an animal. To get off the second shot there is so much movement that the odds are the hunter will be detected by the animal. The rational that the first shot has greater accuracy than a compound bow is a weak argument in my opinion. Greater accuracy leads to less wounded animals.
Bows are worse you have movement throughout your first shot,and how often do you get a second shot off,i now i never have! When i see guys on quads with loaded cross bows while im trying to still hunt an area doesnt ruin my hunting experience,but it is a little agrivateing.

So that makes all crossbow hunters Aholes then right? Report them instead of bitching about it on a public forum.
I hunt with a compound bow, compound crossbow, shotgun & rifle, all legal tackle here in BC. Posts like this feed the fire of the anit's by weaking the main thing we all have in common, HUNTING!

Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!
It would also ruin your hunt if the hunter on the quad would be a compound bowhuter driving to his stand.
What you state is the typical argument bowhunters come up with. What it actually means is that bowhunters do not want more hunters in the woods.
No matter what bow you use it's a ONE shot method of hunting. I think in all my years of bowhunting, 20 years now, I only had one opportunity for a second shot.
