RE: Bashing crossbows?
Rack' s doing a pretty good job of covering one of my main reasons for NOT wanting crossguns in the archery season. But beginning this year, MD' s going to let them in with NO restrictions--don' t have to be handicapped or nothin' ! [:@] In one of my areas, I' ve run into a couple of crossgun carrying yahoo' s who weren' t at all handicapped and occassionally slipped in to " try and shoot something." I didn' t see them much becuase they knew they were taking a chance and knew I had game wardens looking to catch them. NOW, they can go in without any worries--them and all the other lazy ones who won' t go through all the effort required to become accurate with a bow--and stay that way.
I have a friend who hunts with a crossgun. He pulls it out a couple days before the season, shoots a couple bolts and then claims he' s good out to 60 yards for the season!
