No one is saying you can't use a crossbow.....you just have to use it during the times designated to that sort of weapons season.

Heck if you have a medical reason to use it during archery season....collet the permit and do as you are legally allowed to do.

Sorry if I sound like I'm whining I don't mean to but I do have interest in this as a bowhunter myself. And I would like to voice my opinion like anyone else. But if voicing an opinion is whining you sure do a lot of it.

I never said you are whining...read back at my post.

Unless you kept voting to separate in the Quebec referendum....

I don't believe I am whining either....you asked a question and I answered it, perhaps you don't like my answer but I am ok with that are you?

I am a bow hunter too and a rifle hunter.....but I don't own a crossbow and don't really plan on it unless a medical reason forces me to take it up.

You would have to put it in the general hunting and archery to get more accurate results. Speaking of which Lefty is really good at polls.

Very similar results to the ESRD survey with 50% against crossbows in the archery season.

Thanks bud

Lefty-Canuck · #**396** 05-23-2013, 07:57 PM

I bumped it up to allow folks to continue voting....hopefully the mods will let it ride even though it is an old thread...

You expect me not to think you we're not insinuating? And if Quebec separated Canada's unemployment rate would really drop.

BuckCuller · #**398** 05-23-2013, 08:01 PM

Don't worry I'm not all worked up plus I've enjoyed the discussion.

Yes I do expect you to not put words in my mouth

If I felt you were whining I would tell you, you are passionate about your opinion and that is fine by me.

We all have opinions on this and no single opinion is more important than another.

I bumped the thread with a current poll on crossbows, no need to reinvent one that is still up and running.

BuckCuller · #**400** 05-23-2013, 08:09 PM

The results of these polls are fairly close for SRD to come to the conclusion of no interest of crossbows in archery season. Sounds like there is a few.

BuckCuller · #**401** 05-23-2013, 08:17 PM

Thanks for bumping it lefty.

Seen alot of CBC polls. Doesn't mean I think they are right.

If they were, we'd be hunting with slingshots. No wait, we wouldn't be alowed to hunt.

And the BC Liberals wouldn't have won the election. LOL

Your right polls are no good if people do not know about them.

heretohunt · #**404** 05-23-2013, 09:50 PM

One vote for no crossbows in the archery season. That's what the general season is for.

pottymouth · #**405** 05-23-2013, 10:22 PM

Where were we? Has anyone changed anyone's mind, yet?

pottymouth · #**406** 05-23-2013, 10:23 PM

I did notice Okotokian, had a severe case of Amnesia, that Dr.MathewsArcher diagnosed, and corrected...lol

That's a very strange sort of logic. Supporting the status quo by saying it's the status quo, so must be right. I'm assuming there was a time when there was no archery season. I guess rifle hunters should have said "No to a separate archery season. That's what the general season is for".

I haven't contributed much to this discussion, but I found it very interesting. One thing I've found about the AO Forum is that the majority of contributors are very passionate in regards to their opinions, some right, some wrong depending on your position. I just wanted to say I like the fact that we have people who stand up for what they believe in, regardless of which side they are on. I've noted points on both sides of the discussion that are valid.

What a crock...A bow is a bow...get on the same team, like I said before there is skill in shooting a horizontal bow and a vertical bow...put out another survey and watch the tide turn...then what? I know we are all "bow" hunters plain and simple!

The regs, our government and more importantly " I " say a bow is a bow, but a xgun is not a bow.

And with recent surge in bow sales, according to some archery shops, and more of the population online. I'm going to say, even if we had another vote , there would be less neutral, more voting and whole lot more people voting to keep xguns out of the archery season.......

People are realizing , they can hunt with the rest of the bowhunters, during the archery season. They just had to purchase a bow. Record sales will translate to record bow permits, this year.

It is plain to see that you are very passionate about the crossbow and where it should be used,

and the definition of the weapon.

The first time you referred to it as a xgun was kind of funny.

After 100, well, not so much.

All your posts, (didn't count them) say exactly the same thing. Cut, copy, paste. Your input is appreciated, although I think maybe new material might be nice. So in ending I can only say "keep up the fair work"

Sometimes you gotta say things 1000x on here for some guys to finally let it sink in and understand it....

Xgun!!!

Compound and traditional guys are on the same page... both weapons are legal in the archery season , both use muscle power..... both are bows and a majority of both groups agree that (pincher guy say it with me) xguns are not bows

ForwardBias · #**419** 05-24-2013, 11:03 AM

Xguns is really funny.

The original bow has be expanded and improved on for years. Add some wheels, then some cams. Shorten the limbs, add a stabilizer, put sights on it. Now use a mechanical release and what have you got. A bow that has been taken from a weapon that was meant to improve hunting over a spear to a mechanical device. Take a compound and turn it on its side, add a stick to help hold it, incorporate a release that is attached to the stick. What have you got? Say it with me now "CROSSBOW"
