BigJ12- I agree that a crossbow is more bow like than it is rifle like. I don't think they are evil or bad either.
Datamax .. if a crossbow is
LEGAL ARCHERY EQUIPMENT
here in NH, then how come you and I can't hunt with them during archery season? Because the state makes an exception for disabled people, doesn't make it archery equipment. I am ok with it though, I can't park in the spots closest to the grocery store and I don't get a key to the special elevator here at work either .. those are for truly disabled people, just like crossbow usage in NH during archery season.
Funny .. but you do bring up a VERY good point though, and that is NH does allow guys like you and I to hunt with Crossbows... during the firearm season!!!!
