Bow Vs. 22 LR

Recurve crossbow takes less skill to use effectively making it a mutli person available weapon.

Recurve so you can easily change strings in the field.
The new xbows break down easy now.

It's doesn't take much skill to shoot a plinker.

Both.

A nice biathlon .22lr with the toggle type bolt is accurate as hell given the "bolt" action.

If I can only have one that's what I'd opt for.

Both.

Of course...but if you had to choose...

I has a semi--auto 22 LR as a kid & it was very accurate.

I set empty pop cans on a log & plinked them from 40 yards...I would see one wobble & walk out to check it...I hit dead center & it didn't knock the can over...just punched a hole thru it :)

Those cans can be tough to put down...

Imagine an army of angry, empty Pepsi cans with revenge as their only thought...

Just meant thecan is thin/weak: .22lr is a lethal round. I'l take a plain bolt action .22lr rifle anyday.

Don't waste your time with a 22LR.
Get a BB gun for small birds and game.

That plink means dinner time.

The Xbow is quiet and more importantly re-usable ammo like the bow.

I used to have a heavy barrel savage. 22 that was accurate as hell.

Fucking hate rules.

They're for stupid people.

I'll have everything I currently own plus what I can scavenge.

I challenge you to hit a pop can with a bow & NOT knock it over.

Hey, I'm not knocking bolt action...I know it makes them more accurate. But semi-auto is no slouch either.

What you give up in accuracy you gain in repeat fire. IMO the diminished accuracy is minor...but repeated fire is MAJOR!

If I was trying to hit an egg at 100 yards...Yes, I would want a bolt action too!

If you had to chop off your dick, would you rather use a scalpel or a plastic spork?

Ruger 10/22 with 30-round banana or 100 round drum. SO many reason to have one as women and children can handle it in self-defense: [link to www.gunbacker.com (secure)]

Load up with some Winchester 555 .22 hollow points from Walmart and fire as fast as you can. Shot tons of them, for cheap ($13/box) and they were consistent, no jams.

I promise that anything coming at you will stop after a few rounds in that, they hurt more than a BB and will fragment inside sensitive areas.

Sure, against ANYONE or ANYTHING that wants to get at you, bigger with stopping power and/or penetration is the way to go.

Way ahead of you! A pellet rifle is the way to go for bunnies & squirrels...And I have one. I also have a BB gun but it wouldn't kill, just sting.

Same as if I was really fishing for my dinner...I would go for sunnies & blue gills....not the huge monster fish.

I've got both a .22 and .177 air rifle that cost the same. The .22 is far more lethal. Not even sure what your argument is???

I THINK it goes back to my OP...it's silent. (relative to a 22 LR).
