Good point.

This is my way of thinking about crossbows.....I cannot find a single reason WHY they would be detrimental if allowed to be used during the archery season.

I for one do not buy in to the "lazy hunter" syndrome some of you seem to group all those who do not use a bow in. I also use a gun for hunting and I find it just as fun and challenging as my bow at times. You mean to tell me that none of you so called "hunters" ever use a firearm of any sort? if you did then are you also a "lazy" slob wanabe hunter too? if you don't then please don't call yourself a "hunter" because MY definition of a true hunter is a person who hunts all types of game with ALL types of weapons.

I hunt anything from prairie dogs to coyote to bear to elk to pronghorns to deer to pheasant to quail to rabbit to grouse to ducks to turkey and the list goes on and I have used many many different types or weapons to do so.

I said it before and I will say it again some of you (and you know who you are) need to drop this elitist attitude about bow hunting and start really HUNTING!

There is NOTHING wrong with a crossbow, it's just another weapon to choose from and if it's legal in your state why don't you give it a try?
