Default RE: What does everyone think of crossbows?

here's my take:

- they are not legal in NY, therefore should not be used
- they are legal for handicapped hunters and I feel that is a good thing (allows them to still hunt, etc.)
- would not have a problem if they were deemd legal, but I think they should make a separate season (say a week or 2 during regular archery and/or maybe a week at the end of the season - or something to that effect) AND have a separte license fee for that weapon - this would allow those that wanted to use a crossbow and generate some more funding for the state conservation fund
