The compound bow was just as controversial in it's day as the crossbow is now , and look at what the currently dominant archery system is .

Indiana allows their use for all game except for deer during our early archery period , you can take deer with it during the late archery period only for now due to pejudice against them by the vert bow crowd . This is changing however , our DNR is looking harder at crossbow use during the EA period now that they are in a financial pinch and nearly all of the surrounding states have liberalized them .

RB , you and I share the same dream . Be patient , it's just a matter of time before it comes true .
