    Fair enough. That doesn’t mean other people can’t provide opinions and information.

    Ok, wow… Where did I say I loved crossbows? Please quote that. When and to whom did my lobbying or trying to make a case for crossbows during the elk rut in Montana for the general public take place? Quote those please. I simply gave some facts. Just because some folks don’t like them...

    Totally agree with your post as far as Montana having ample opportunity to use a crossbow but you may want to check your data on what is quoted above. Are they more effective than compounds? Sure. Are their effectiveness akin to open sighted rifles and muzzleloaders? No, not at all. Though...

    Meh, everyone is entitled to their opinion. What I find interesting is that when someone from out of state agrees with them they welcome the input. When they don’t they pull the “ why should we listen to someone from “almost Arkansas” card or you are thin skinned for simply describing ones...

    Yea, yea, yea. Made it pretty clear that I don’t give a shit what Montana does as far as crossbows. Doesn’t affect me one iota. I do enjoy calling out BS narratives and freely giving my opinion whenever I want though. God Bless America!

    x-bows Montana illegal for old and handi-cap , during the archery season

    I used to be pretty fervently anti crossbow when I was younger and thought I was the bees knees because I was pretty good at killing deer with my bow. That all changed when my grandpa, who got me into bow hunting as soon as I could draw back the legal minimum draw weight, got to where he...

    1. No clue. 2. I could pack 60, 70, 80 lbs load just fine with a blown out rotator cuff. Only hassle was getting the pack on. At the same time, drawing my Matthews was excruciating. Also maybe an old timer can’t draw a bow back but has help getting an elk out? Someone like a younger friend...

    Awesome. Not me. My view is that life is too short to go pissing away days of hunting opportunity because of some notion that killing deer with an upright bow is the only satisfactory way to do it. There are many 100’s of thousands of big game animals taken every year with upright bows. I...

    Pretty sure I said that what is good for one State or region is not necessarily good for another about half a dozen times in this thread alone…

    Help narrow sleeping bag choices

    Yea and full width too at least for me. Those 20 inch pads aren’t for me. I’d pack a 5 pound pad before I tried sleeping on one of those narrow pads again.

    Probably right. And honestly that is one of the two primary advantages with a crossbow is the ability to put an optic on there. The other obviously is that you don’t have to draw with an animal within shooting range. #3 would be the ability to shoot from a rest when one is available.

    Fairly similar here. No more muzzloader season now it is “primitive” single shot breechloading firearms with an exposed hammer and that are .35 caliber and above. I think it is more about license sales, recruitment, and trying to keep harvest numbers stable for both that rule and the crossbows.

    Ah, I wish I could have witnessed the spectacle of someone calling my gramps a pussy to his face for using a crossbow in his 70’s. It would have been good entertainment watching him stomp a mud hole in their ass.

    x-bows Montana illegal for old and handi-cap , during the archery season

    Good info. Maybe I am naive. I think it is worth me spending a little time researching for sure just to relieve my curiosity. One thing I do know is that their have been very few negative impacts from crossbows being legal here in terms of pressure and harvest rates. I also know that western...

    Very good point. What works one place may not work another. Have any citations that the crossbow industry was the catalyst for expanding crossbow hunting during archery season in Mississippi?
