The negative I give you is that the capabilities of the crossbow are grossly overestimated which, if made legal, could lead to increased numbers of wounded and unrecovered game.
That is NOT a negative, its an unfounded fear. You could also say that legalizing crossbows would make more boats sink and increase auto accidents. Now, theres absolutely no datat to back that up - and theres no datat to support increased numbers of wounded and uncovered game either - but we could use that as a negative too, right ?
Of course not. Its preposterous to assume a fear is a negative especially when its an unfounded one. I need only point out in October all the threads that will be right here - from compound shooters - on the missed deer and wounded animals. If that is your only Con sir, then you must simply be against compounds then ?
