I am from Ohio, I have no problem with people using them either (illegal here in MO, unless handicapped).

BUT, a crossbow does not require the user the draw the bow back while the game is present, it is already drawn. I had three does under my stand this year, thought I was good to go, was drawing my bow back when the one behind me, that WAS walking away from me, apparently turned around and saw me. She blew and they were all off and running. If I had a Xbow I would have nailed one, or at least would have got an arrow off.

But like I said, if thats what you want, go for it. I personally like the challenge of a compound bow, and I like the compound bow over the traditional as I feel like I have a better chance at a quick clean kill. A good friend got a buck up in Ohio with his Xbow.
