No that's a Sportsman.   Voluntarily limiting the use of of technology in the pursuit of game.

Now Swampy could do it but he elected to go the easy way, like the crossbow users he criticizes

I don't draw my bow and then wait for the deer to give me a good shot.  I wait for the deer to present a good shot and then I draw my bow.  

Deer moves out of position when you draw, how long can you hold back that compound ?

you can hold the xbow ALL day without worrying about it.

That is the biggest difference between the two, ease of executing a good shot at any time it presents itself .

Ha, ha, all depends on how much of a challenge you are up for.

I have gotten off a second shot on a deer with a compound. Never with a crossbow.  Yes, I do miss once in a while. LOL

but will a deer drop down from the release of the bolt?

Are you "getting the itch" again?  I can send you some formulas on how fast a deer can drop!  Please.....lets not do that one again.

Only if it's topped off with a Rage

Don't be a hypocrite, not very long before our founding fathers wrote  the Declaration of Independence the traditional way of duck hunting was with bows.

This is s joke right....are we going to go back to the Neolithic age to start trying to prove points...besides comparing waterfowling to deer hunting is really next to impossible....

 

Make all the excuses or abstract comparisons you feel compelled to...lhunting with a crossbow is not “bow hunting” you all know it, and are lying when you don’t admit it or accept it.....

And you are a hypocrite because traditional way of duck hunting going back only to 18th century was with a bow. (crossbow has been around for centuries)

BTW are you a compound hunter? If so don't you think this is not really archery when compering with long bows?

I can split and divide better than you can but I elect not to do it and in reality I truly don't care what you hunt with. I wish you luck and help you drag your button buck shot with a 30o6 if I had a chance to do it.

reason I got a crossbow was for back issues,  drawing my compound with these issues is hard, with the crossbow back issues don't come into play. if the back treatments work I will use my compound
