One day someone will sue them for age discrimination and they will lose. My state used to have it that only someone with a Dr's certification that they could not draw a bow could use a cross bow. That was a joke, most Drs would certify the applicants no matter if they were informed or not. It was bad, the whole intent of allowing the cross bow was for handicapped people and anyone who was willing to lie and had a Dr who had no objection to lying to make his patient happy was hunting with a crossbow in archery season. Finally the PGC decided to legalize crossbows for everyone and even the honest folks can hunt with a crossbow. I doubt the age thing will hold up if challenged. They cannot claim that only allowing older hunters to use a crossbow is a management tool.
