Most of the vitreol originates from the so called PBS and state bowhunting organizations that have
the notion that THEY are the ones to draw the lines where they want to and force that down everyone else's throats. What we have here is a few thousand bowhunters that want to dictate to millions of bowhunters what they can and cannot use to bowhunt. State by state now that havelooked at other states that have made the sensible decision to allow crossbows into bowhunting seasons, have very good information to fall back on to repute the nonsense being spewed out by the greedy and elitist bowhunting groups. In actuality, THEY are anti-hunting and are so clouded by their hatred they obviously can't see it. Too bad. The good thing is that they are now being recognized for what they are.
