Fair enough! I thought I answered the question but I guess it was half an answer
Yes , I would add a crossbow to my arsenal. They are illegal here right now except for the handicapped and over 65.
Yes , I would be considered a poacher! I would continue to use my compounds and recurves also because it' s my passion. I literally have archery related thoughts in my mind at least once a day 365 days a year. I dont see it as being a threat to our sport or fuel for the antis. If it were illegal to use compounds or stickbows but legal to use crossbows , I sure as heck wouldn' t advertise that I still use my beloved compound or recurve. It would be my own business and nobody would know the difference. I would get just as much enjoyment keeping it to myself. I' m just being honest.
If my answer to this hypathetical question gets me labeled a poacher , oh well. There are much worse labels a man could wear!
