Default RE: please tell me just one negative to crossbows

In all seriousness, this sums up my position on xbows.


The future of bowseason in MY state rests on the harvest results. Bowhunters account for about 15% of the harvest. We are at the upper thresholds of what will be allowed by the gun hunting majority. As bows get more advanced, harvest results increase. Gunners are taking notice and speaking out on this. Crossbows have the potential to increase the harvest results significantly(see Ohio). Gunners WILL NOT STAND for shortened seasons, reduced bag limits, etc due to increased archery harvests.
