I look at it like I look at an ak47 assault rifle. Legal to own....legal to hunt with in some places, fun to shoot, but I wouldn’t want to own one. They are gaining in popularity just like crossbows are. Several years ago the only crossbows available around here were a few low end models that stayed hung up on the store shelves gathering dust. Now there are $1500 units all over the place and people are gobbling them up. Same as the black plastic gangsta guns. I went to a great sporting goods shop near my deer camp last year to check out what they had for guns. In the past there were usually some nice bargains there and they did a great hunting gun business. I went in and the gun racks were full of everything black plastic. Hardly any hunting stuff there but they had all kinds of military looking stuff. What a shame. So this sudden interest in crossbows is not going to go away and we might as well accept it for what it is….just like the military rifle craze. I am too old and set in my ways to change at this point.
