Well, I don't use a crossbow, but I don't see a thing wrong with them. If it works, it works... I wonder if these guys use guns to hunt with? Don't worry about other people's opinions on that, everyone has their own value system, some just like to push their's onto others...

Congrats anyway... any deer taken is a trophy, whether it's a button, a 25 pointer, taken with a gun, crossbow, longbow, etc... if you worked for it, you earned it, end of story. But... that's JMHO.
