RE: crossbow a bow?
Here in Tn they are legal had one for a couple of years but prefer my compound bow over it. They maybe easier to shoot in regard of not having to hold the poundage back and aim like a rifle but they have drawbacks, very bucky, nearly impossible to cock in the tree, most hunter here that tried themhave swicth back to there compunds. I dont really see them taking over here in a state where anyone can shoot them. The first year there was loads of talk about how great it will be to use one but after a few years it is all gone away and i hearing mostlytraditationalbow talk.
