It's an awesome sport!! I'm good, but I'm out of practice after missing a lot of sessions (or shoots)... I can get gold and red, mostly red... until I can zero the sight

I've always wanted to get into archery, but never have, it looks like an awesome sport.

I'm surprising good at it, i'm a really good shot when we did on an indoor range and an outdoor, I got to use a crosbow and everyone else used a longbow, because I was so advanced.. suckers

Meh, so what? Whoopy do. You got to use a crossbow... They look so stupid imo, Bows are much nicer.
Besides 1) Crossbows are too powerful and therefore an unfair advantage when hunting.
2) The crossbow is so powerful that the bolts destroy bales of hay used as backstops.
3) The trigger on a crossbow gives it an unfair advantage over bows which have to be drawn and fired.
4) The use of telescopic sights violates the purity of archery as a means of hunting.
5) Crossbow hunters shoot like they have a rifle and negligently injure their prey rather than the clean-kill seen by conventional archers
6) Crossbows have far greater range that a bow. If we allow them to be used during archery season, the game would be harvested at dangerous levels.
And many clubs do not allow crossbows
