Not the ones they are referring too with magnified scopes and laser pointers shooting upwards of 350fps. The ones steeped in history has a yew or ash prod, and cannot be held at full draw very long at all without breakage or set. I am actually trying to build one now.

Says you and crossbow shops. Imagine that huh? kinda like saying abortion has been legal for decades but has no negative impact on society. What was your view on that?

Well says you, but I have yet to see a peer review study you have completed. But you say it is. What are your qualifications to make that remark? Switch tech doesn't cover it.

With my mass calls to the MD DNR, I asked who are the folks pushing for this change in MD. He bluntly said the pro-shops and manufactures. Guess its like a goverment handout for em.

Now, your talking. But what was Roy Case's gear he used to take his deer in the 1930's? Lets see if you know WI history of the first bow season and why it started, why they fought for such an extended season with bows. Why WI and Roy Case was against crossbows and WI still is. It was only the start of the bow season in the US.
