I' m all for the disabled using a crossbow during archery season. Today a 45# bow is adequate enough to take deer, so those who are not disabled should be able to find a bow to hunt with that they can handle the draw weight. I know there are people who have shoulder injuries and things like that but a crossbow is just not the same as a bow. Part of the challenge of bowhunting is pulling the bow back without being spotted and being able to hold the bow at full draw until the shot. With a crossbow you just cock it when you get on stand and wait until the time comes to pull the trigger. Yes, I have shot crossbows for target practice only and know the range is really no more than a compounded bow.
