You claim many things but will not back up a single one. You let your emotions get the better of you and you called people idiots I don't know how many times. Just calm down and prove to me were the xbow has caused harm to bow hunters or the deer heard. Just facts please.

Your #1 thing is that bow hunting is about tradition. If thats so then why does it matter if the bow season is so long. Would you be happy with a 2 week bow season and still celibate your tradition. The season is 3 to 5 months long in most states because most state have expanded the season. Gun season has been expanded in most every state. Muzzleloader season has been expanded in most every state. Why can't xbow be expanded. Even if you don't think its a bow they still have a right to expand the season. If there is proof it causes harm to the sport of hunting or deer population are devastated I will admit they are a mistake.

The fact is they are not causing issues to the states that have them. If so show me.

Also stand in any bow shop in America and ask 100 new bow hunters why they are buying a new bow. I bet almost none will say for tradition. I bet most all will say to extend their season.

I have given you respect for the fact that you love traditional equipment and admit it takes much more dedication to use. To me thats a personal issue and you should not expect every hunter to have the same traditions or want the same challenge. Some just want to hunt and enjoy the time out doors. Don't call them lazy slobs just because they have a different view that you do.
