i guess we all knew what i said, would be taken wrong, thats my fault..

here in pa. you can use crossbow in gun season but not in archery season..unless you have disabled permit..

my point was, i am seeing hunters that could not hit barn with bow because they never could,getting a DISABLED PERMIT, now using crossbow..most are NOT disabled, i feel..the ones that are , thats great,i am on your side..

we wanted to keep archery season for DISABLED and regular bow hunters..this gives disabled a better chance to get a deer with crossbow..if the crossbow, which may happen anyhow,be legal in archery,we feel that disabled would have less of chance to get deer here in pa..this WAS good program until the NONE DISABLED are now ruining it..

that was my only point..MOST i see that have a DISABLED permit and are not disabled, in my opinion,could not shoot a bow or flintlock and were terrible hunters be fore they got a permit..

that was only my point..

as for me and others using recurve, i only stated that MOST are missing a lot of fun hunting..things are making hunting to EASY, yes, fun is making in hard..i just saw on tv that you can shoot your buck from your computer..you pay 2000 on your credit card, turn on the field or woods, it has camera on gun, you sit and wait for buck to come out,gun is in tree, you push shoot on your computer, it aims behind shoulder, bang, your done, they clean deer and mail in to you..

for person that cant be in woods hunting or cant practice, NO TIME, i feel the crossbow is great thing..sadly we dont have time and less deer in pa. is causing a lot of hunters to give up..

crossbow MUST be more accurate than my recurve or compound ..i hear many GOOD HUNTERS saying, they want it legal for all of us ,not DISABLED..i disagree with that for above reason on giving truly disabled a LITTLE BREAK on getting a buck ahead of others..

i guess i am in minority on that too,most hunters i talk to that shoot compound, hate the DISABLED HUNTERS for same reason i said..they want it legal for everyone,they want that ADVANTAGE over the DISABLED..

i seem to always want to give others a break ,like the DISABLED PERMIT,but i am like a fossil now..hunters today want to KILL,they want that deer,they dont want to see others get a nice buck and want every EASY way to get that deer..

this is world now and do to lack of deer here in pa. i see it getting much worst..

like said, i mostly likely will use CROSSBOW someday, not for it being easy, will use it because i TRULY cant pull my bow anymore..will i like it, YES, because it will let me hunt a few more years, i hope..

but, the recurve and memories as most of you have hunting, will still be in back of my mind
hunting..
