When the topic starts with Who Hates in the first two words, the line in the sand has already been drawn. Anyone thinks todays compound bow is that hard to shoot get a grip. my son shoots out to a hundred yard with his compound everyday. I can pick his bow up today and shoot respectable groups out to 40 yards. I love my crossbow they have legal in Ohio for over 50 years. get over it. I am also putting my 2023 crossbow harvest in the Buckeye Big Buck Record book this year. Hate that! Owe did I mention he was was killed in the middle of the rut at less than 10 yards. He didn't go 20. Hate that!

Heck yeah.

Congrats on the big deer from 2023 and getting him in the big buck record book!

That’s awesome.

My Uncle hunted with some pf the N Ohio guys.
Their buck management goals/tactics
were bass ackwards than Pa today.
Wheel bows were just getting popular.
The tools change.
Our need to gripe, remains the same.

Thank you, this topic really burns my behind. In a time when we need to encourage the next generation of outdoorsman coupled with fairy tail groups that would be more than happy to see all our hunting, fishing and trapping stopped all together. The same guy that complains about the use of crossbows, will use a cell camera, bait deer, or create a 10 acre food plot with ten different stands on it to accommodate every wind direction ( all are legal in Ohio) and then tell you how many 150 inch deer he passes up because he is only shooting 200 inchers. in Ohio,Traditional, compound and crossbow deer harvest number surpass gun/muzzleloader by a lot. Hey here is another one who hates inline muzzleloaders? I only say this because if you really want to find something to complain, dislike, or hate it is easy to do.

Back when I was doing some shooting and not just taking the kids some years I was tagging 14 plus.

Amazing I addressed you. Want to limit x bow to a special seasion. OK no problem But it needs to be x bow only and not vertical bows allowed. Should restrict archery gear during firearms and black powder seasion as well.


The problem is you want and like to be able to hunt your way all seasion in every seasion. Start talking about limiting that and you are not happy. One of those all about me and my way individuals.

The long bow hinting season was already available to everyone, now you want to further reduce seasons because of expanded weapon choice, this is exactly my argument for not putting xbows in archery season...



My point is the anti x bow guys love hunting all 3 months of deer season.bow, gun, black powder. But if you flip the script and say anything about limiting their methods of hunting they get their feeling hurt.. Limit others methods they are all for but dont limit mine..
Maybe that time my explanation was clear enough? Sometimes when I explain things it makes since to me but other still dont understand what im saying. A lot of people get frustrated and thein the other person not understanding is to dumb to get it. But in fact if someone is not understanding what im explaining im the one failing to explain it in a way it clicks for them.
