I have known for many years that the majority of people support the use of crossbows in the archery season.
Maybe on YOUR side of the border,
not here in the U.S. I don't think the majority support crossbows even now. I think they simply don't care one way or the other.
One other teensie little thing.... I don't much care for'furriners' sticking their noses into Americans' business. If you guys spent half as much time worrying about your own country as you do about crossbows on this side of the border, maybe you'd still have some gun rights up there.
Most don't want crossbows for fear more people will hunt during the archery season and shoot "their" deer.
I have not seen one logical reason tonot make them legal.
So far we have
1.It's easier
2.Protecting our bowhunting tradition
IMO, both of these are pretty lame. I will preach until I die.
HUNTING IS SUPPOSE TO BE FUN
We all have choices, if YOU want it hard go ahead, if I want it hard, I should have the right to choose how hard IMO.
My grandpa has hunted with a CrossBow for over a decade now, yes he had to go through a test. Which was nuts IMO.
