i would agree with crossbows if you can pull them back when you see a deer, but how does the game wardens know you did this? I think only two people should be able to use crossbows, the handicap that cannot pull back a bow and the senior citizens that enjoy hunting. What fun is it to be in the woods having a already cocked crossbow and a nice buck walks in front of you. Its not all you do is aim and fire with the crossbow, at least with the other kinds you have to pull back when they are in sight and become a little bit of buck fever, now that is always fun
