Sorry people but a crossbow is not a bow! Its a mechanism that is already drawed and sitting there waiting to be realeased by a trigger! There for to me its more of a gun then anything! ThePope and Young Club was skeptable about allowing the hunting releases when they came out. The Pope And Young Club holds high standards and i hope they continue to do this. They've given inenough already, they now allow a higher let off in the books compaired to what it was before.
