You got Roy Chase on the brain....for real. I think you want to just stay living in the 1930s....Not every one does. Things have changed...deer populations have changed. Maybe we should also hunt deer and buffalo from the rail roads like they used to....you know because of the historic significance of it. Have some pop corn...lol

You know after pages and pages, I figured it out. Its not about excluding x-bows but more about excluding gun hunters. Most point out that arrowguns don't make much of a dent. But gun hunters, even muzzleloader hunters would be going over the top by most opinion.

Kid last year shot himself under the chin with a crossbow here in MD (12 year old dead of course), keeping it fully drawn with an arrow.

So now you are a concerned citizen over the xbows safety? I havent looked up the facts yet but I will venture to say that self inflicted xbow deaths are not too rampant. Of course all weopons are dangerous in untrained hands. A potato gun can be lethal in the wrong hands.

Difference is, arrowgun shooters regularly keep thier arrowguns full drawn while hunting, potatao gun shooters doing regularly stand in the way of the tator being lit off. In other words, one is common (stupidity) practice and other is just an accident.
