Default RE: Why are crossbows illegal?

I still don`t understand WHY? Please, will one supporter of crossbows in the regular archery season please explain WHY you want to use a x-bow, if you are not physically handicapped? I will state to you before I see your explaination, if it does`nt include"because I am too lazy to become proficient with a bow" it had better be a hum-dinger of a story!
And, I think that x-bows are not illegal in a lot of states, they just are not included in the regular archery season. AS THEY SHOULD NOT BE, unless you have a physical disability that prevents you from drawing, and holding a conventional bow. To a person in good physical shape, a x-bow is an inferior weapon, it does not need to be drawn or held at full draw like a bow, though, offering an unfair advantage, that does not belong in archery season. A x-bow has inferior down range ke, as well as not being as accurate. That is, they are not as accurate if you take the time to practice with a quality bow. OK, I am now waiting for some type of responsible reply, not a hissy fit.<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>
