This is not a valid question because what you are asking can be asked about any weapon. Could I find a negative using a longbow, recurve, compound, crossbow, shotgun, rifle, muzzleloader, spear, throwing knife, powerful slingshot using steel projectiles, blowgun, etc. So using those examples, any of those weapons could be lethal if the user is proficient with them. Why not allow any weapon that someone can kill a deer with into archery season or firearms season or both? Why don't we just put all the weapons together and have one season..........anything goes?

Data, from the amount of posts and time you spend on crossbows, its obvious you want to use a crossbow in a state that currently doesn't allow it unless the user is handicapped. I have also read posts from some that say its selfish not to allow crossbows in archery season. Is it not also selfish on a person's part to want to use a weapon, well, just to use that weapon because that is what they wish to use?
