1 Reason --The people that hunt with crossbows are just too damn obstanant and pushy!

kidding relax.

I'm from Ohio and have hunted with a crossbow in my younger years. I am much more accurate with my compound. My only argument about crossbows is the fact that many people (not everyone) believe since they are a trigger operated mechanism that they operate like a gun and thus they need not practice being an archer. I saw this first hand this year, go to Dick's or your local sporting goods store the night before bow season opens and see how many new bows are going out the door. Most ,if not all,are crossbows, do you think these folks are going home to practice all night??

I don't have a problem with the weapon. I have a buddy who I hunt with on rare occasions and he carries a crossbow. I also have an Uncle who has a permit to hunt with a crossbow in Pa. While he does have health issues he could and has shot a compound. Getting a permit in Pa is pretty easy. But thats another topic, so i digress....

If the person shooting a crossbow practices and knows the weapons limitations than I have no problem with it. Yes i know the same can be said about any bow, but the characteristics of a crossbow make it easy, in the hands of the uneducated, to make poor decisions.
