If we hold a hunt there is going to be some variation in reaction, depending on what one brings to hunt with. The guys who bring a gun are going to get nods for their practicality. The guys who bring crossbows are going to get credit for their stealth. The guys who bring a machete are going to get raised eyebrows. They are all welcome to join in with their preferred tool.
Anyone who shows up with a machete crossbow is getting wrapped in duct tape and left in camp for the duration.
