RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows
Datamax... well I can agree with that! Crossbows are to handicapped hunters as seeing eye dogs are to the blind. If you are handicapped, you can use a crossbow to hunt during archery season, and if you are blind you can bring a dog into a restaurant.
Of course that means all the healthy people have to use bows to hunt archery and everyone who can see has to leave the dog in the truck!
