My issue with it is not necessarily the weapon it's with SOME of the people that use them! I've heard WAY to many people say "hell if I can use a cross bow I'm going to start "Bow Hunting" , plus I don't even need to take the archery coarse like you did! " Shoot a few arrows and say they can shoot out to 70 yards no problem! And most have never set foot in the woods before!! Hell I even know a guy that MISSED 3 deer with his compound this season and decided to pick up his X Bow because he couldn't make contact other wise Up until a few seasons ago you literally had to be a paraplegic in order to be granted permission to use a x bow now anyone can? How does that work? Again do your time, be a deer hunter and do your practice and I could care less what weapons are used if it is legal. But know matter what it still draws riff raf!
