Also can you explain why you are at a disadvantage? You are setting in your tree hunting with a bow and the other guy is hunting 150 yards away in his tree with a xbow. How does it affect you. They have the same range.
Well less see,
1.less movement needed with xbow
2.form is less of an issue,anyone who can shoot a gun can shoot a xbow but not every gun shooter can shoot a bow!
3.I care to differ on thier effective ranges
4.there alot faster than the fastest bow
5.if they are allowed as substitutes for bows there will be twice as many hunters in the bow season.
Need I continue,this was the same deal that destroyed true muzzleloader season,when they started allowing the use of inlines(not saying there bad) I have one myself,but you tell me which one is more accurate,and at longer range,now there are as many hunters in the woods in muzzleloader season as there are in rifle season.
I think that allowing them as substitutes for a bow (if your not disabled) will ruin BOWHUNTING.
