Isee both sides of the crossbow arguement. I have no prob with someone hunting with one as long as they used to be an archer. My problem is up here now you are having alot of middle aged men that are going to the doc getting the dissability permit going out and buying a Xbow and think that they are carrying their 30.06. Never been in the woods with a broadhead. I know of 6 deer that were killed last year with xbow darts in them most of the bolts were in the hind quarters(from the rear i might add). So for a former archer with a lagite injury no prob have at it man!!!! To the 50 yr old faker that thinks he can shoot a running deer in the brush at 50 yds no stick to your guns man!!!!
