Awlful funny how all these TRADITIONAL ARCHERY CLUBS are against crossbows when crossbows are more traditional then compounds that were not even around in 1965 and crossbows have been for hundreds of years.
It is just a factor in the SICKNESS of ME FIRST or ONLY ME syndrom.
you are right to a point..a recurve and compound bow takes skill to shoot..crossbow does not..so, crossbow puts more hunters in woods that would never be there in archery because they did not have time, skill, health or interestto shoot a recurve..THIS IS ONLY REASON THEY WANT CROSSBOWS BANNED IN THEIR SEASON..
hope this helps on REAL REASON..
