Default RE: Legalizing Crossbows

I agree with xbow only for youth under 14 that cannot draw 45-50lbs, disabled or seniors. My grandfather hunts with a xbow. Part of the thrill of bow hunting is the challenge of getting drawn and making the shot undetected. I was busted 2 times this year trying to draw. And missed one time after having to hold for about 5 mins because a deer stopped behind a tree and I could not let down undetected. With a xbow I would have been able to get a good shot on all 3 deer. I did kill 2 with a bow this year. I believe that legalizing xbow is just going to get lazy hunters in the woods that would only rifle hunt because the lack the discipline to set up and learn to shoot a long/compound bow.

Just my 2 cents.
