RE: I thought I heard Matt/PA head explode
Never been a fan of crossbow hunting, and I'm glad Illinois doesn't allow them. However, ifa person is physically unable to draw a bow then that's a different story.
My dad has shot a recurve all his life. In the last few years he has became unable to draw it back effectively enough to hunt with it on a regular basis. He refuses to apply for a crossbow permit saying that is isn't bowhunting. Heck he won't even let me give him my Switchback.
