The two main problems I have with this is:

1) Very simply a crossbow is not a bow. Should a disabled person be allowed to us a gun during bow season???? Of course not. That is the same reason no one should be allowed to us a crossbow.

2) I know this sounds harsh but we all know it true. How many people would end up with a permit to use a crossbow that were not truly disabled?
Example - How many people do you know that have a handicapped permit to use the handicaped parking spaces that really should not have one??

I just think we have to be very agressive in protecting our bowhunting and I dont for one minute believe the fact that the crossbow is not a advantage.

Has anyone here ever missed a opportunity at a deer because they got caught drawing their bow??????
