SS why can't we include youth X bow hunters as well? I don't see where these myths of Xbow overkills, not practicing, not perfecting our woodsmanship as much as possible come from? I started recurves, hunted YEARS w/ compound and now choose to use Xbow. I still hunt recurve and like shootinjg practice w/it. I do not see the hordes of hunters swarming the woods, it is a new thing it won't last. Just like Compounds lot's bought and hunted for a coupleyears, those w/out the persistence or developed love pof the sport will quit. Maybe a good poll is how may compounds are sitting on the garage wall and not shot? If you go beyond this tool discussion, you look at the PAPGC, BOC and it's history of non-hunter support. You wonder wehy people get mad and upset. look at just this Xbow issue. I am not talking that it was voted in to beging with, look at the bcak and forth, suppoesed oppostition/voted in, no scopes/scopes, full inclusion/change to part inclusion all in what 3-4 month span. That is a lot of frustration for hunters trying to keep up w/ the game laws, license fees, doe license sales changes. STABILITY is something all should be looking for, so far I have seen instability of game laws, management and vote!
