In my humble opinion, a bow, is a bow, is a bow. Anything that will get more folks in the field can only be good for hunting in general.
I cannot wrap my brain around all the infighting about crossbows and inline muzzleloaders. I think you should be able to use whatever you wish. However, I fully expect to be flamed over this response.

no fairy tale but you are right,i should not single out a certain state as having these goof balls but the ones i see are from new jersey and i dont seem to see any other hunters from other states.

example, i saw a women walk into the Gander archery shop the day before opening day last season and she was picking up her husbands bow and asked the counter kid this question, my husband wanted me to ask if his bow is all tuned and ready to hunt with tomorrow?????????????????

I live in Vermont where a special permit is needed for a crossbow. I have had a permit for the last 10 years. I miss my compound but without a crossbow I would be all done archery hunting. Do I get more deer with my crossbow, NO! Do I have an advantage over my compound,YES, my accuracy is much better so I can definiately hit what I aim at. Can I take 50-60 yard shots, yes I can from a bench. Will I take a 50-60 yard shot at a deer, NO! I limit my crossbow shots at deer to no more than 35 yards max. Even with a crossbow a deer can and will jump the arrow. I have had them do it even at 25 yards. Should everyone be allowed to use crossbows? That should be up to the state you live in and the individuals involved. Do I object to them, of course not, I use one.
Should you guys continue to argue on this forum about them, NO! Not worth the effort and all it does is make enemies of each other.
Have a good day and be safe out there.
