i started bow hunting in 1978 I stopped a couple of years ago cause I can not focus on my pins and target w/o one or both of them being blurry. I wounded a doe back in 2007 and it was due to my poor shooting. I have the time to practice and have the strength to pull back a compound but its myolder eyes that made me give it up.I can not focus on mutiple planes anymore peep, pin and target.single focus no problem(scope/red dot). tried a red dot on my bow but it shot all over the place. Went to an eye surgeon for vision correctson but found out it wouldn't suit my needs. I went out and bought a crossbow matter a fact I have 2 excaliburs and I have no problems seeing my target- one has a scope the other a red dot. So legalizing crossbows will bring ME back into archery. Yes they are easier to learn how to shoot but are loud and i doubt very much I would shoot at live game past 30-35 yards. same distance as my compound when I had good eyesight. I am hoping that NYS legalizes them for full archery inclusion.
