RE: Why are crossbows illegal?
I would be glad to.....depending on the "let-off" of some bows, holding a xbow and compound are virtually the same in this regard, you still have to keep still, level and on target. I USE BOTH so i speak from my own experience only here. My xbow wieghs 17lbs if that gives you a better idea. Now with a lesser let off the odds favor the xbow at "hold on target" but as the let off increases the ease of both becomes equal.
I have a question about your numbers of xbow kills versus bow kills in Ohio. To my knowledge or experience i have never been asked when checking in my deer if i used a xbow or a compound, and i have taken deer in every season with one or the other. Where did those stats come from? Maybe they only "poll" a few hunters at a few check stations? Just curious thats all.
The outdoors is yours, treat it with RESPECT!!!
