You’re right, compared to archery, crossbows are easy to learn and efficient. That means every old fart with a bum shoulder and a doctors note can drive around whacking dink muleys in the rut from their quads “ohh-tee-cee” pretty much guaranteed.Every time the topic of crossbows in archery season comes up I am reminded what a bunch of narcissistic douchebags the majority of archers are.
You get to use a shit weapon in a prime season because the Game agencies figured out how to sell extra tags with low success rates to a group of people with a superiority complex that feel the need to boast to everyone how much better they are because they do it “the hard way”.
You’re forgetting the loin cloth and moccasinsIf you have a problem with crossbows while hunting with anything other than a stick, string, and wooden arrows you are nothing more than a hypocrite.
