Edd_Wiltshire 9 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Bow hunting is really popular in the US. I remember visiting a hunting store there and the bow hunting section was massive. I think it’s not a great way of hunting, massive risks of maiming the quarry and causing a long slow painful death. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I would bow hunt if it was legal here in Ireland. It's not the crossbow that's at fault. It's the moron using it. That bolt is only good for targets. Look up a bit about broadheads and how they kill. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I personally wouldnt entertain the thought of using a bow for hunting. As a sportsman - I go for a humane kill every thime, as we all should. If you want to play cowboys and Indians then buy an X-box - or go to America. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FTB neither would i use a bow to hunt.ive been shooting for around 20 odd years and id put money on it wether its with a shotgun or rifle of some callibre,there isnt many that will hold their hands up and admit they have shot something that has run on.

I wasn't saying Americans would do this, just answering the question, who would use a crossbow! Just like some Amazonian indians do and some other tribes. Have no problem with the Bow or Crossbow. I respect the Americans for standing up for their sport instead of people aguing about who's sport is the best. That's why we lost hunting with Dogs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
