Art as I see it your problem isn't crossbows it's the "piddly month long season in Texas".You live there get active,change it. Come to Ohio it's from Oct. to Jan. non stop. Do you think Texas gives you a piddly season to keep the game farms in big bucks?Is the $4000 two day "hunt" with wine women and song the reason for such a short season. I know some archers take pride in practice and bow skills,that's great. The deer asked me to speak for them,they don't want anything legal.And soon they will be in the majority.If you e-mailed me that's why I'm submitting this,if not disregard.

all the best,
