TRG3, Your observations are so very sad, but true!! I am in NJ and we have kicked around the idea whether to allow xbows in bow season for the past 2 yrs, or so. The anti xbow side do get loud and offensive and resort to personal attacks, which is getting quite old; however, xbows will be included in the 2009-2010 season. We, on the pro side , just point out the myths keep putting the facts out there.
