I think that i've made a lot of points that some folks here seem to get.

And I've never bow hunted and don't really plan to, although i like to hear bowhunting stories just as much as gun hunting stories. My father compound bow hunted until he became physically unable to and started to use a crossbow. And my uncle (who is not in very good shape either) started hunting this year with a crossbow when Illinois started allowing anyone over 62 to do so. Neither of them did as well as my dad's hunting partner who uses a compound bow because he puts a lot more effort into his hunting.

Interesting to note that some might think that the new law would result in the woods being flooded with a bunch of senior citizen new crossbow hunters that would slaughter all the deer. But to the contrary, the harvest for the 2007-2008 archery season was slightly lower than the previous two seasons when only the disabled could use crossbows.
