Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

What I don't advocate for is if someone is not a decent shot with a bow allowing them to pick up another weapon to hunt with.
What do you think of me putting down my longbow last fall and shooting my Dad's Q2 ? I shot it maybe 30 times and then went hunting with it.

Opinion ?

Using that logic, dynamite, spears, poison tipped arrows, etc. should be legal equipment for those who want to use them.
Dynamite isn't a weapon legal in any season. Spears can be used on hogs in some places ....... its possible that a movement could get started allowing it for deer but unlikely. Poison .......... look at the POD and how it was accepted/rejected.

Not great examples Cougar, you can do better.

the weapons should not be adapted for the hunter.
So you agree then that the compound should have never been legalized ? That mechanical releases should never have been legalized ? That mechanical broadheads should never have been legalized ? That greater than 65% letoff should never have been legalized ?
