I love it when the antis get going with a full head of steam. They are the best advertising we have. Real friendly bunch aren't they. If we leave the future of hunting in their hands, we are all screwed.

RE: Field and Stream Crossbow Debate
i hear alot of - you need a disabled permit to hunt with a crossbow . i have a horton steelforce 150 , and i would like to see a person pull back the string. i have a pse compound set at 70lbs thats easier to pull back than the crossbow .
but any way in pennsylvania you are allowed to hunt with a crossbow in regular rifle deer season / late flintlock or muzzleloader season as long as you have a muzzleloader stamp / and turkey season .
just because you dont have to hold the draw like regular bows doesnt mean you have torelax on any ofyourhunting skills. you still have to go by the rut , worry about scent, scout the areasyou plan on hunting ect . . .no matter what weapon you use - good luck to all on future seasons to come and pass on the hunting tradition
