If you are disabled or " no disrespect" to old to draw back a bow you should be able to use a cross-bow. But to allow general use of a cross-bow during the archery season is not right. If you want to use something that holds 100% power on its own,you should be rifle hunting. Yes we use releases but we are still have to draw back and hold it. Cross-bows are not like that. IMO if their was a separate season for crossbows their would not be all this controfersey. Gotta go the popcorn is done in the micro.
