On Saturday morning YOU will be required to place a ten thousand dollar bet on either the compound team or the crossbow team, both shooting at cantaloupe at seventy yards. Oh, and the crossbow team can use shooting stix, bench rest or through the open window of a truck. Pick your team.
Now replace cantaloupe at the range with opening day of archery season.
Sometimes it can be hard to tell the dumb from the willfully obtuse. But it gets easier the more they talk.
It would have to be a timed match to reflect hunting situations. As such, the compound users would win because of their 3-1 rate of fire over the crossbow users.
Really, if modern archery gear is a conservation concern, it's time to disallow anything on modern bows that increase effectiveness. Compound bows with their pulley systems and aiming devices must be treated the same way as scopes on crossbows. Ultimately leaving only longbows, recurve bows and traditional crossbows with iron sights available to hunt with in bow seasons.
Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!
