Well after a few years have passed I can tell you this. It came in with a wimper and has made almost no difference.

The whole thing was bow hunters didnt want all the extra competition in "their" woods. Plain and simple....I heard some guys saying that scum gun hunters will just pick a xbow up and hit the woods and sling arrows at everything that walks.

For the most part everyone needs to just take a breath and support other hunters. If they do it different than you so what. Im a bow hunter but I still support the other guys choice to hunt with whatever they want and enjoy. Not everyone want the same challenge or we would all use stick bows. Enjoy the sport and be glad we had still have a sport to enjoy. Remember strength in numbers.
