Big country, you are using the same old xbow spin that they all use.

Yes, OH has a healthy herd. xbows have not decimated it. BUT...OH only has a 7 day gun season. That leaves a lot of deer for "archers". OH has 1/2 the gun hunters that PA or NY has. OH has fewer bow and xbow hunters combined than NY or PA has BOW hunters.

If you're trying to say that target xbows can't shoot 1.5" group at 20 yds....I call Bullcrap! Get on some xbow forums and read about 60 yd groups and "rifle like" performance.

Crossbows may very well have bow-like terminal performance and require good hunting skills for shot opportunities.

But don't kid yourself - xbows do NOT require ANY archery skills, you know draw, anchor, hold, aim, release, follow through. OK, you need to aim...and shoot. Xbow requires a rifle skill set, not a bow skill set. I think that alone is enough to keep them out of archery season.
