Default RE: Are Crossbows Considered Archery???

I don't care if you want to start a, Jab a Toothpick up a Bears Hind Quarters season, Just don't take more of myArchery season away.

1)A CrossBow's Projectile is called a Bolt, not an Arrow.
2) I can shoot a Crossbow, Standing,Resting it ona Tree, Sitting with my butt on the ground resting it on my Knee, From the Prone, or even up side down on my head!
3) There is NO Physical drawing of the Bow, or no Muscular involvement.
4) Can be held Indefinitely once loaded.
5) Slight, or No movement involved when game is in view.
6) There is no chance of torquing your grip, breaking left or right with your bow arm, pulling your release hand away from your face, droping your bow arm, or any darn thing else involved with shooting a Perfect shot in Archery!

I am 100% in support for someone that is incapable of shooting regular archery equipment being able to get a Doctors slip, and use a crossbow during regular Archery season.
I am 100% AGAINST them being used by the General Hunting Public during our Archery season, for they have NOTHING in common with the shot process involved with shooting a Bow and Arrow!

Yes Crossbows are a shooting sport, But please, They have nothing to do with the sport of Archery.
