I'm glad Pa has crossbows usage now for everyone. I really can't see what all the anti retoric was about anyway,where are all these new hunters going to be comming from ? Hunter numbers in general go down each year. IMHO all the negative jargon about the crossbows came from a group of spoiled archers whom wanted to continue having first cracks at bucks ..that is bad for the sport of hunting.
I hunt with every legal weapon and when the spirit moves me I'll buy a crossbow and hunt with that too. May as well handicap myself an make my archery hunting harder than it is with my Katera that I can group with out to 85 yds and killed a doe with last year at a measured 93 yds!..Can't do that with the best crossbow made (having killing strenght at 93 yds that is)
