[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1169942, member: 5412"] Topics like this have been fodder for discussion since the beginning of time. The rock throwing guys didn't like the slingshot folks, and the smooth bore rifle shooters said that it was criminal and unethical to use a rifled barrel in war. The traditional bow folks screamed bloody murder when the compounds came out and many states passed laws to stop them back in the day. Muzzle loader hunters that used sidelocks screamed unfair when when inlines were brought back in recent years, forgetting that inline muzzleloaders came before sidelocks. With the poor steel of yester year, the inlines were dangerous, and were converted to side locks with massive plugs to keep them from taking the heads off of the shooters. Obviously, nobody remembers the crossbow is using 2000 year old technology in its design. You still have to get as close to the game as a longbow, or compound with the skills of a woodsman, move the crossbow to a shooting position, and take the shot with a weapon that is no faster than a compound. Compound bows can use red dots, scopes, and whatever. I'm proud that Okla has the foresight to see this. Its about time. [/QUOTE]
