so then you're mad because i prefer vertical archery but i am not selfishly trying to exclude another form of archery. as a matter of fact i am standing up for archery in all its forms. i like traditional guys too.
do i need to highlight it for you...i stated many times i am no crossbow expert...i simply have some experience and am unbiased in my views.
finally...really???? i got a pm about you???? i have more friends than you??? sorry, im done in this one.....yer just getting childish now! cya in the next topic.  |
Because of trajectory Xbows are Bows?
Thats called gravity BAMBI. What do thing guns do? Zero in 200 your not hitting a balloon at 300 or 400. The "arc" or a bolt doesnt make it a bow. However, the fact that its a point and shoot shouldered rifle like stalk DOES make it a firearm.
