BuckAlley i'm going to try and tell you a life story, about myself and a friend. Were both 60yrs plus yrs.old.I hunted with the bow since 1959,recurve and then compound. Now mybody dos'nt like me any more, lots of new parts. Last thing to go wrong my left shoulder, no more operations i,m a bad risk, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I STILL WANT TO HUNT DURING ARCHERY SEASON but you folks like you have stoped me. Now to John he's a couple years older than me hunted with the bow longer the myself, and sounded just like you till he had a stroke in early Oct. . Now he asks can he hunt with the crossbow, sorry john theres folks out there that won't let it happen, they think they own the woods and the season. Buck as you can see life changes us and our desires. One more thing theres a young lad that came back from Iraq all busted up, lost a arm and leg and this is what the petions about, you tell this man to his face that he can't archery no more. Rich K.
