Well, I am a new member that has been on here for, maybe, six weeks. In that time I have read several threads from stick bow hunters wanting to banish compound bows from "their" sport. And crossbows? Hah!! They were shifted into the same category as rifles!! So, after reading enough of that CRAP, I decided to go to my brand-specific site and be "comforted and relieved" to find members with MAYBE the same love of crossbows and crossbow hunting. Instead, what do I read? Mostly, members that are NOT owners of the same name-brand Xbow as me. Eight out of ten comments were, either, disparaging the brand or my lack of knowledge for buying it. Making me feel like a Neanderthal because I didn't spend AT LEAST, $1,000 to $2,000 on it. Here's a secret. Out to 50 yds. I'll put my $600 Xbow against your $2,000 Xbow, ANY DAY. Anything beyond that is unethical in a hunting situation, IMO. And when there is disagreement, everyone is so polite and condescending to each other, it truly makes me nauseous. Let me tell you, you can dis my possessions all you want. But when you start to question my IQ I am going to get on my soap box and I am going to RANT AND RAVE!! It would only be a matter of time before I was removed for my form of disagreement, anyway. So.............I QUIT!! With PLENTY of hard feelings.
