I helped a couple people( with legit disabilities) set up their crossbow. They "are" much easier to start consistently hitting a bullseye than compound or recurve. Talked to the owners of the two archery shops I visit. When I asked them about crossbow sales,I got a surprising answer. That surprise was how many guys trading in their compound for a crossbow.The reason-they do not have to go through the motion of drawing the bow in close quarters of the animal. They fill with the aid of a rail on their stands and not having to draw a bow,that success will come much easier for them.I believe it will.Then you add the number of new hunters buying a archery stamp. I can't see how anybody can make the claim that crossbow's aren't going to have a impact on the buck harvest. Believe me,I don't care what you use to kill your deer and this is not me versus you,as to with more hunters in archery season competing for the deer. It's strictly about the harvest numbers that I believe, that are going to happen and what it is going to do to archery season down the road.You can bet,the gun hunters who do not want to participate in archery season. Are the next group who are going to cry wolf about "ALL" bowhunters. And if they don't get changes in the archery season,then what? More hunters quitting? What the he!! did the PGC gain then?
