I feel the same way you do and am tired of having to explain why I love archery for the sport it was when I began and defend our way of hunting and trying to preserve it. I expressed my feelings over and over to apparently deaf ears and blind eyes, maybe they do have a legitimate disability and need to use a weapon previously reserved for the handicapped. Exactly what advantage does a handicapped person have now? My wife can hold back a bow in full draw why can't these men. If able bodied then hunt with a compound during the rest of the season that xbow hunters are no longer allowed to hunt. You get to use your xbows early and then you get to use a compound. No one is saying you can't archery hunt but all the whining would imply you have no other choice. I give no sympathy for any one who has the ability to take part in the greatest and most challenging of hunts-Archery and then sits back and cries injustice because they don't want to use a compound or traditional bow like the rest of us who have always archery hunted. Apparently you xbow guys who are calling the rest of us greedy just don't want to hunt that badly or you would be practicing with a "long" bow now and during the season or for the rest of your life like a large portion of us who archery hunt do. But that takes commitment and lots of practice.
