And x1000 what sledhead said...good idea really, may do wonders to bring the TOOL some acceptance among us hunters/brothers!

Lord you are obstinate. Since when are the advantages that I listed not advantages? If it's -40 outside I can wear the bulkiest clothing I want and it won't conflict with the operation of my crossbow. If I can hold on an animal, with a crossbow, for an idefinate period of time, that is clearly an advantage over a bow. Look up advantage in the dictionary will ya. All those advantages I listed....they are all advantages. Difference......a crossbow is drawn and locked whereas a bow is drawn and released using muscle power. That is a difference. The advantage is clearly in favour of the crossbow when used in a tree stand. The advantage is clearly in favour of the bow when stalking or still hunting. Is there something wrong with me pointing out the obvious advantages of a crossbow? Why must it be downplayed in your mind?
