Default RE: Why are crossbows illegal in most states?

Fear and lack of understanding. People think that a CB season will wipe out there deer heard with the influx of hunters, Ohio and Arkansas has disproved that claim. People also think that it is easy to poach with a CB but that is also disproved by the DNR's, a CB is not very practical for this task. I truly think it is a jealousy issue. People want to have as few deer hunters in the woods to compete with and keeping the CB's out will keep more people out and in a selfish way mean more deer for them. After Ohio and Arkansas has proved the points for over thirty years, states have realized that the CB is a good management tool and in the past couple of years and are signing on. I think in the last two years a half dozen states have opened up full CB hunting! Also if the intent for this is flaming please do not since the mods will pull it out quick. Not a CB debate forum.
