Default RE: Crossbow ?
ORIGINAL: Jason N

Because there are more folks hunting with crossbows than regular bows there according to their 2003 Harvest Summary . Crossbows were liberalized in Ohio over 20 years ago .
Kevin, you just made my point that crossbows are easier. The numbers in Ohio speak for themselves, there are more guys shooting crossbows because it's easier. At least that's my opinion....why else would so many use them?
I won't deny that a crossbow is easier to master than a compound bow , so who says that a tool must be difficult to master to be proficient ? Personally , I prefer knowing that a fellow hunter is in the woods with a tool that they can humanely kill with . Equipped with the same type of scope , red dot sight , or even electronic range finder that you can now put on most compounds will only help ensure that the crossbow hunter will have little excuse for missing except lack of practice .

Just for my own curiosity , have you ever owned a crossbow Jason ? Ever fired one more than once ? Ever sight one in ? If not then I'll say that you probably have no fair base for comparison . If so , then you know what they can do in the hands of a hunter who has "done the work".
