RE: Crossbows are not archery!
I do agree the crossbow is not the instrument which will draw prospective archers into the bowhunting fold. As mentined eariler, the crossbow is loved by neither the gunhunter, nor the bowhunter. It is simply a substitute, primarily for the gunhunter. Again, I believe it isn't even so much a matter of the weapon than it is a matter of the heart.
