I didn' t say they were TOO much of anything, I did say that they are heavier. How much depends upon the each bow.

As far as how much they harvest in Ohio. That' s a guess at best. When we check in deer here they never ask what weapon we use. The ODNR' s numbers aren' t worth the paper they are written on. They really have no idea how many ppl use crossbows as opposed to bows let alone what the harvest numbers are. Furthermore even if the number were correct they also estimate that there are more crossbow hunters than vert. bow hunters. so of course there are going to be more crossbow harvests than vert. that' s just common sense.

I didn' t say or at the very least didn' t mean to say that corssbows are harder to hunt with than compounds all I said is that they come out even in the end.
