Once xbow is allowed I guarantee you that muzzleloaders will be next. It's a logical progression.
Ahhhhhhh geeeeez man, you're KILLING ME !!
A muzzleloader uses limbs and stored energy and tranfers that energy through a string to shoot an arrow ? NO !!! its not a bow because of that, its a GUN ! Do you want me to fetch what a gun is for you ?

MA Jay - if what you fear is true .. handicap hunters are likely to be poachers then, thats the logical leap of reasoning. But IF crossbows are such the weapon of choice for poachers ........... why haven't we seen it ? C'mon, if your premise is true, you should be able to find a boat load of poachers cases that use - not a gun - but a crossbow. If you can't ......... then its like fearing the boogey man in the closet. He's not real, he doesn't exist, people have opened the closet and shown you ...... and yet you are still afraid ?
