Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

Silent, your statement about not allowing people with a disability to hunt is invalid. Most if not all states allow those people to use a crossbow. All they need is validation for their physician
No it's not. There are lots of people out there they have shoulder problems or back problems that prevent them from shooting yet doesn't qualify them for disabled status. Take a guy that has arthritis. He may be able to shoot sometimes but not at others and the pain that comes from his shooting my be too much to bear and not worth it. Every state is different in the standards that it takes to be qualified for disabled status and therefore a crossbow. Some of those states are VERY stringent. I have researched this on several states for my father so I think I have a pretty good grasp on it. So not it's not invalid are even uncommon for that matter. But what about my arguments about not letting women and children into the sport? Were they also invalid?
