my buddy at work just got his card from the state allowing him to use a crossbow during the archery season. he had to go to a doctor and meet with the board before getting this lifetime permit. he has struggled to shoot a compound bow for years do to his handicap from birth. although he did pass his course in bow hunting as a youngster he never went bow hunting much i think its because he felt that he couldnt do the job properly.this will be his first year bow hunting in many years and im happy that we will get to go together some of those times rather than waiting till december for the gun season. he is a very happy man.there are so many deer in my state of jersey i dont care whos hunting with a crossbow. if it allows a person with little time to practice to get out and hunt he will still be on our side and we need as many as possible. i still say i can match any crossbow up to 20- 25 yards so lets just get huntin!
