I live in Texas but hunt in Arkansas and Texas. I looked at the stats in response to a similiar thread on another Texas specific forum, and for the last few years, crossbows are about 30% of the total archery kill in Arkansas.

I don't have a problem with Crossbows in Texas like a lot of people. I hunt with a compound, and wouldn't hunt with a xbow myself, but I don't think it will create all of the problems that a lot of my fellow Texas bowhunters think it will.
