It's a shoulder fired weapon, let them keep it in the shoulder fired weapons season.
Fact is, I think all but maybe 2 states allow a person with a handicap to use aX Bowduring the general bow season with a permit or have their own season, and most states allow them in the general gun season.
Problem is the manufactures dont want a pice of the pie, they want the hole pie! So who is the selfish or greedy one here?
If I offer you a pice of my candy and you try to take the hole bag, you better be ready to scrap!
Manufactures and dealers are the push behind the X Bow, it's not Joe blow that actually has a disability and can already hunt the whole dam season!
People like to throw out the numbers for Ohio but always seam to leave out that almost half use the X Bow there now, and I see a problem with that as an archer.
It might not matter in some chicken **** state wheregun hunter numbers are only a few hundred thousand, but it's another story in states like Mi and Penn where you have 3 or 4 times the numbers, I dont care where you learned the math.
We once had a very generous Bow season in this state, now it has been whittled to pices with special interest seasons. Hardly a 2 week period that goes by without a gun going off. I amfed up with manufactures and dealers using the old and handicap as an excuse to cram the X Bow into our bow season when they can already hunt the whole season, if indeed they are handicaped! They are not doing it for the old and handicaped, They are doing it for the 20% of 700,000 gun hunters they can sell X Bows to in this state.
Any one out there get it yet?

It's a gun that shoots a bolt, keep it in the gun season!
