Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

His defeatist point of view is, if we don't ban the compound, we might as well allow crossbows. While I might sympathize with the mindset, I realize that quite a few bowhunters are turning away from the compound because it has gotten too easy, even boring. As a result, we have a rapidly growing number of traditional and primitive bowhunters.
Yet the number of hunters in general is rapidly deminishing. The bad part is that when you guys get through weeding out the "undesirables" there isn't going to be anyone left to stand beside you and fight for "your" hunting rights. [:'(][&:] Someone else mentioned how issues like this devide hunters and I totally agree. But lets recap. I want to allow crossbow hunters and welcome them with open arms by showing a little understanding and flexibility. You guys want to keep them out and keep it seperate. So who is really having the devisive influence?
