With vastly growing deer herds, and deer/car collisions on the rise yearly I'm all for the crossbow use in the regular season by all means.
There was a huge debate between the ranks of the pope and young book too about the compound bow's 80% let off???
Keep two set's of books. One for the stick and string shooters, such as long bow and recurve bows, and the other for crossbow and compound bows. What's the big deal? It's your choice as which weapon fits your fancy!! Wow, enough of the in house bickering.
