My thoughts exactly. He declared the forum 'officially dead' in another thread....
When I took my son to do some archery, the instructor asked if I'd ever used a bow before. I replied that I'd used a crossbow to hunt rabbits.
There was a brief moment of silence and then she said "we don't include that".
There's a real snobbery about the crossbow amongst archers, I can understand it a little as they are really much closer to rifles in their skillset. It still takes skill to use one well. What I'd say you should never do with either a bow or crossbow is fucking hunt anything in the UK! Not rats, rabbits, the neighbours cat, hoodies, pigeons etc. It is deeply illegal.
