BT,
You and are normally on the same page but I have to disagree with that stereotype of the potential crossbow user. In my opinion crossbow use does not automatically equate with poaching. Heck, a compound or stickbow is a quieter weapon than a crossbow even if it isn't precocked with a scope.
I am sure we will get some slob hunters out there but not necessarily the numbers that most folk expect. Heck, once they find out that it is
hot during regular archery season then most of them will go home to the air conditioning....
