RE: Crossbows introduced for regular archery season in PA
I personally wouldn't mind being able to use a crossbow from a time stand point. I have 2 young children and work a different shift than my wife. Last year is the first year I felt I had a legitimate chance to hit a deer with my bow because of a lack of time to practice. With a crossbow I would be less likely to wound a deer due to a mis-placed shot. I don't believe a new generation of hunters would run out and buy a $600 x-bow. I think a minority of current archers in my situation would consider making the switch, but I honestly probably wouldn't at this point as I feel I am proficent enough with my current bow. It's kinda like to each his own for me. Some traditionalist like recurve's only the same as some with compound etc...
