Gee, and the compound never opened those, did they ?
2 wrongs does not make a right
I realize that OH and AR have had xbow seasons fro 30 years now. BUT, back then I would imagine xbows were hard to come by, not very common in stores, etc, remember no internet back then

Culture and economics dictated that traditional or compounds be used. That culture has not changed, atleast for AR. OH, IMO has some alarming stats that do scare me. Alabama just passed xbows in archery season last year, I would be interested to see the effects it will on their herd, which resembles ours very closely, even down to the seasons and liberal bag limits. If I see no ill effects over the next few years, then I may give a little.
I would suspect my state will be legalizing xbows within the next 5 years.. It's a constant subject and almost got passed this year.
