top archery shop said he is selling 9 crossbows vrs 1 compound now and a year ago it was reverse.he also stated the crossbow should have its own season, the first 2 weeks of archery, i agree on that too.most are people who never archery hunted or are out of shape and dont want to get in shape to pull a compound bow.others have already had crossbow from years ago.but most of ones buying a crossbow in his shop are people who never archery hunted or stopped years ago or dont want to take time to practice with compound.

this is what i am seeing also, most of hunters i see with crossbow already are people who never were any good hunting with or without bow.thats about what i figured was to happen.no doubt the 50 yd shots will happen because most dont care.
