heonlyquestion for mewould be when. Separate season, bow season, only use it in the fire arms season? That to me is a reasonable debate (I'd vote for during archery).
i would vote muzzle loader, but i would slide the xbow up on your list closer to muzzle loader. i dont the specifications for fps of them and all that technical stuff. Just looking at how its used, it is closer to a gun than a bow.
