Just because it has gotten away from the true tradition of archery that pioneers like Roy Case started doesn't mean throw the baby out with the bath water.
I understand where you are going, if its not about tradition anymore let crossbows in. I get that. As I believe if your going to let in crossbows, might as well let in the orange army with thier guns. But nobody wants that. I want it be recongized as tradition or let it be hunting with whatever weapon.
How true,here in WV you use to be able to hunt during the muzzleloader season wearing camo or for some traditional buckskin,but now with the added pressure and after a few accidents your now required to wear orange,I fear that if xbows are able to be used and presure increases the same will happen to bow season and anyone who has hunted with a bow in rifle season knows that standing in a tree glowing and trying to get a deer in range is almost impossible!
Thank God xbows are illegal in WV except for the handicaped,but so were inlines,scopes and sabots during muzzleloader untill a few years ago so allowing xbows won't be far off.
