    Shooting elk with a bow during the rut can be stupid easy.

    Compound Bows vs. Crossbows vs. Rifles

    Yes, but a rifle still has much better lethality than an arrow.

    Compound Bows vs. Crossbows vs. Rifles

    Nothing stops one from sneaking in close with a rifle.

    Compound Bows vs. Crossbows vs. Rifles

    A rifle is inherently more lethal than an arrow for starters.

    Compound Bows vs. Crossbows vs. Rifles

    The problem with archery is even with "ethical" shots its very easy for an animal to jump the string. I had a video of me shooting a whitetail once that showed this. Shot was at 25 yards and Inwas aiming for the heart. The arrow actually struck the deer 6 inches higher. After reviewing the...

    Compound Bows vs. Crossbows vs. Rifles

    I've read several studies on the subject of wounding rates for archery vs gun. They all concluded archers wound more and only disagreed on the extent.

    Compound Bows vs. Crossbows vs. Rifles

    @Greenhorn is spot on. It's not hard to shoot a bow out to and over 100 yards with modern equipment. Kurt, the last bow I bought was also a Mathews Zmax.

    Crossbows During Archery- for a select few

    If crossbows are made legal you will see the numbers of people interested in "archery" rise precipitously. For a variety of reasons this isn't a good thing.

    Crossbows During Archery- for a select few

    Exactly. It doesn't take much time to tune a modern compound bow, sight it in and shoot it well. Really no more difficult than doing the same with a rifle. Of course most guys can't tune a rifle or a bow from what I've seen.

    I'm not a big fan of long range hunting either, but nice try.

    Crossbows During Archery- for a select few

    I guess I would be more accepting of all these stunt seasons(MZ, Bow, Xbow) if they had the same seasons as rifle season. Some guys like bow hunting, I get it. Fine, do it during the general season. Of course it's mostly never been about the weapon used for most guys, it's just a way to gain...

    Crossbows During Archery- for a select few

    I think that's pretty typical, Buzz. And as such the current season structure in most states needs to be looked at.

    Crossbows During Archery- for a select few

    While it does happen both ways, archery hunters wound much more as a percentage. One study I saw suggested 50% of the elk shot with a bow are never recovered. If I had a dollar for every time I heard archery guy say "I hit one" that latter didn't find it I could probably buy a nice rifle. At...

    I'd like to see the wounding season aka archery curtailed greatly.

    Has long range hunting gone too far?

    LR and BOW "hunting" are just stunts that do nothing but hurt hunting as a whole.
