I am not a lover of crossbows. I know if I suddenly became handicap I'd sure want to use one, just like right now I like having the option of going back to a compound.

You see, July 13th 2009 I woke to extreme vertigo. It took away almost all of my coordination and balance. A year later and I'm maybe 70% ? I shot my recurve an aweful lot last fall, trying to get good enough with it to hunt again. I did kill a KS buck, a short shot and I hit back of lungs when I wanted to hit front ...... but kill it I did. I also missed a deer or two as well.

The vertigo robbed me of much, and I now have a compound I can shoot more accurately with less practice, more power and more assurance of killing shots ........ I mean isn't that what crossbows give people?

I know, I know, the whole drawing vs non-drawing thing ...... but guys, as different as that is between crossbows and compounds so too is the draw so radically different between compounds and recurves/crossbows

I've shot them all, I've hunted with them all. I've hunted states allowing crossbows for just a few who have a permit, I've hunted in states that allow them for everybody and through years of experience with them all? They don't hurt anything anymore so than a compound does.

And that is really the only fact States need to look at before approving the and they are, and in the next few years every state will have them and no one will care once it happens.
