Fight the fight? LMAO
Trying to compare a long bow to a compound can't be done, just as a compound can't be compared to a crossbow.
Some people need to get over themselves. Get out in the woods and have some fun. If you see some idiot with a long bow, crossbow, compound out there slinging arrows at deer and missing, wounding deer, or otherwise being a slob step up and do something to help them. My guess is their father or whomever taught them how to hunt was a slob themselves. Awful hard to learn to be a real sportsmen when you didn't have a proper teacher.
That being said is it archery season yet?

Re: Compound Bow or Crossbow? Why?
have you shot a "long bow" I assume by longbow people are talking primarily about recurves? Draw, aim, release, repeat. The primary difference is if you are shooting instinctive or not, and how much weight you have to hold at full draw. for me I'd rather hunt with a compound as I know I can hold the weight back longer and allow me the power to put on a perfect shot compared to struggling to hold it at full draw and possibly making a less then ideal shot. Also modern compounds have a ton more KE
While you are throwing the "longbow" around keep in mind that longbows aren't what they used to be
for example:
compound:
Recurve:
longbow :P
The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

Re: Compound Bow or Crossbow? Why?
I understand that ignorant people are in everything, but not all cross bow hunters are slobs. I also know not many people shoot their compound bow as much as me, and I feel under prepared for archery season shooting 20 arrows a day for the whole summer. There is a place for a crossbows in hunting. Kids that aren't strong enough for a compound could be out hunting with a crossbow, and getting more people into hunting is definitely a good thing. I don't know why hunters want to exclude them from archery if they are making clean efficient kills.

Re: Compound Bow or Crossbow? Why?
Hey Dredly, I'll see you in the woods with my CROSSBOW dur "your" archery season... Love to see you do something about it because PGC says it is legal. I dont see anywhere in the rule book it says "hey you crossbow guys are all cheating slobs". If you have a problem with me being out there then go hunt private land. I have just as much right out there as you do, and I'll do what i damn well please with my crossbow.

Re: Compound Bow or Crossbow? Why?
Chip, at this point you really must get a crossbow if only to piss off the elitist girls. And then post pics of all the deer you got with it.
