Hey, I'm just playing devils advocate to all of your unfounded facts.

The fact of the matter is that I agree that most states would probably suffer no ill effects from the use xbows in archery season.

In minnesota and wisconsin we can't seem to get populations under control.

After giving the subject a lot of thought over the last couple of weeks I've come to this conclusion:

I don't think crossbows should be allowed outright in archery season. I think our society caters too much to the laziness of people. However, I do think regulations should make accomodations for the young, old and disabled. I am an advocate for getting young people involved in hunting and I don't think they should be restircted by the inability to pull a bow back. I think anyone who plans to use a crossbow should be required to take saftey courses in order to educate them on some of the fallicies of what a crossbow is capable of. Its been made clear in this thread that a crossbows capabilities are grossly overestimated.

I will remain firm in saying that all capable of using a compound or traditional should be required to do so.
