Example 1.My fatherinlaw. Bow hunted till the years of physical labor took toll on his body.In late 40's couldnt pull a bow back anymore.Couldnt get permit for crossbow so just gun hunted till he passed away.Here is a guy who hunted his whole life and because he got older his deer season is cut down to 20 days.He told me many times if he could use a crossbow that would be great to get in the woods during archery.In NY it isnt easy getting a permit.You have to be major disabled to qualify.

Example 2.My wife.Weighs in soaking wet at 85 pounds.She shoots 3-4 times a week but still cant get to a min. draw weight of 35 pounds.She helps me scout,put up tree stands,and wants to hunt.We are working with a pro shop to get her strengh up but we have been working at it for 2 years.Not many people have that patience.

Example 3.My kids.All possible future voters and future hunters but unfortuante for them built like their mom.They have a huge love for the outdoors now but what does the future hold?With numbers of hunters leaving and not recruiting what is lost where will bow hunting be in 30 years?You might not be here but what about your kids?

Before its said yes my wife could gun hunt if she wanted.She doesnt enjoy guns and is nervous being in the woods in gun season.Gun season up in western NY is an experince in itself.
