Nothing wrong with being proud of a skill at all. But that's not even close to what I was saying. I'm sure you know that and are just trying to save face.

Teaching him to be a snob and elitist is sad. No two ways about it.

Still can't quite figure out the quote feature eh?

You have a hard time figuring out how to read lugnut?

But you stated they have no place in archery season.

I state the fact that they are archery equipment. So they belong in archery season.

They are by definition archery equipment. Therefore, they belong in archery season.

I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.

The part about the kid that bothers me is that he would allow his son to be disrespectful of his elders like that. He'll end up another punk running around saying "ok boomer" and making other disgusting comments like that.

He has a right to not like crossbows, but that he would laugh at adults, and worse yet, that his father would encourage that kind of behavior is very unsettling, but sadly, not very surprising. We see the results of poor parenting like that every day these days, unfortunately.

I can read just fine.

And I know how to use the quote feature, it's really quite simple.

You haven't seemed to grasp it yet.

Maybe all the hating you do has made your brain soft?

My last post on this thread.... 13 pages and no one has countered my original argument that a crossbow is not archery equipment for the reasons stated. Not gonna argue with people that stoop so low as to attack my son because he had a laugh about you crazy xbow people. Keep looking through your scope and pulling your trigger. Just like the guys that cry about "trophy hunters" because they never had a decent buck in front of em. Everyone can see right through you. Bye!!!

Unfortunately, apples don’t fall far from the tree.

Don’t like something. That’s fine. But he is teaching his child to also be a self entitled person who can’t have a reasonable and educated conversation.

Bullies are bullies. They will always find a way to blame others for their circumstances. It’s never their fault.

lol. I just posted the definition that states crossbows are archery equipment. You just don’t want to accept it.

You didn’t get the affirmation you were looking for, so you are leaving.


It’s not an airport. No need to announce your departure.

Yeah, that's pretty messed up.

Not as many crossbow haters on Tman as he was hoping I guess.

Seems that way.


How y’all feel about hound hunters?

Lol

Yeah, Im not wanting to get ugly or be insulting. I disagree that crossbows are archery equipment, but I was on the losing side of that in my state and I have accepted it. I would have preferred to have crossbows get their own season and be included in firearms season and archery season is for archery. I don’t think you are ignorant or a bad hunter if you disagree. But we do disagree, and I still respect you - and congratulations, you won.

Can appreciate that loose arrow. Thats why many states keep them as separate seasons but run concurrently. So it they need to change them the can easily do so. Most have found that there is no ill effect from those that use crossbows.

Which are archery equipment.

But I can understand your apprehension to them.

Similar to states that have season for only flintlock/Caplock muzzleloaders or only recurve or longbows.



I would rather a hunter use equipment that is safe and legal and be out hunting, as opposed to sitting at home wishing they could be out hunting.

In this day , where anyone can just "be..." by simply " identifying as" , then sure ; crossbow users are " bowhunters".

Lol

See we agree on a lot! But not the part about crossbows being archery.
They are not, and when I shoot them both that is obvious to me.
Although we clearly disagree on that, and I am right (said with a smile), you make some good points otherwise and I still consider you a fellow hunter and on the same team, and I respect your right to be wrong about that (again said with a smile)…
