mossyoakhwhunter, We have the same kind of narrow-minded hunters, here in NJ. I've been on the PRO xbow side of things since last summer. As of yet, only the disabled hunter can use one. Crossbow inclusion will become effective in the 09-2010 bow season, thanks to many who got the facts out and disputed the myths. The youths are the future, no doubt. Btw, I am a non-hunting woman who just happens to be PRO hunting, as well.
