Yep,there were alot of people using them on a disabled permit.The disabled permit process was pretty much a rubber stamp process so it wasn't hard to get one.Crossbow usage will increase as time goes on.Last year,the BOC went back and forth on their usuage for months so alot of people probably held out buying one until they knew that they'd be legal.

I doubt the inlines had any effect on crossbow purchases.Crossbows can be used all of archery season and you can kill a buck with one.Inline season is for does only and it's only a week long.
