Granted, this thread could have been started in another forum, but, it does pertain to crossbows. L D was just giving a piece of information that he thought might interest someone, and I'm sure he was not trying to disgrace crossbow hunting in any way. A person using a crossbow or a gun to commit a crime does not make him a hunter no more than a person using a baseball bat makes him a baseball player. All that was implied by the above posts is that there are people in this world that would try to harm you and to be careful. I assure that a criminal's weapon of choice is not a crossbow, and any sensible person would know that..........Sorry just MHO.
