Alright stealthy, where were all these new bowhunters prior to the legalization of crossbows, talking specifically in my home state of Georgia? They were certainly not hunting in archery season. Why not? At many NBEF courses I hear the same reasons from new crossbowers "compounds are too hard and do not shoot far enough out."

If compounds are as easy as you say, why didn't they just jump right into archery season? Because they did not have the dedication to bowhunting. That's right, they waited, asked for, and got the easiest way out and jumped right in.

On another note, when crossbows were legalized the state of Georgia reduced the archery season by one week. Tell me again why I should not dislike crossbows?????

The fact is as bowhunters we need all the help we can get and as many in our ranks as we can muster for political reasons. Having said that, I know of many "new" buwhunters that have contacted their legislators to have the seasonal restrictions removed since xbows were not their cup of tea....... What they found out is that Crossbows were not some mythical, magical, 150 yard killing machine and now they are dissatisfied. However, they have also found that the early season can be a great time to kill deer as they are a little easier to pattern.

The battle in GA is coming where we as bowhunters will have to stand up for our archery season, and we have many within our ranks, as perceived by the idiots at the Golden Dome, that are all for eliminating archery season. I have already had one state rep tell me personally that he has heard from a few bowhunters that want the archery season eliminated. When asked what type of bow do they shoot? He informed me they shot crossbows.

PS, go back to stealthy, you are flat out confusing everyone but VC.
