Greetings ya'll guess it's time to throw my 2 cents in the pot.Here in Ohio crossbows are legal and as long as I've been hunten and or enjoyen the outdoors(since I was around 4 yrs old 30 now) they have been.To be honest to me it depends on the person behind the crossbow or compound or trad bow.I know guys that i wouldn't want to share the woods with that shoot all of the above and also know guys that regardless of what they are shooten are always welcome. Granted I personally think usen a crossbow is no different than usen a low yardage gun and I do rag on the guys a I know about not being "real bowyers" but it's all done in fun.....I guess since all I've ever known is that it's legal here(and that bow season runs from 1st weekend in Oct. till Jan 31) that I don't have the hard feelens alotta ya'll do about it. guess if it was the other way around i would.I'm sure that if all sides truly sat down and put there heads together some sort of a workable deal could be arranged where all side(but the anti's) win.
Anyhow just my 2 cents worth of opinion.

If god didn't want us to eat animals....Why did he make them outa meat?
