Pull out the PETA card. I hear that on various sites. Push an agenda and if someone doesn't agree they should Join PETA.
Keep it legal in your state, hope it never is legal here. We have too many long seasons and too many hunters already.
Disability and over age 60 no issues, if you want to hunt with a bow, buy a bow.
Glad you have that view. Very glad that its legal here and gives people options to hunt. Glad that you feel age is a qualification for using a crossbow and the thought of being disabled. I don't feel age or someones ability has anything to do with hunting. I am quite pleased that I am healthy, strong, young, and in great shape and I can use a crossbow. I love the fact that I can choose the weapons I want to bring out to my blinds. Sometimes I bring my long bow, compound bow, cross bow, rifle, muzzle loader, and inline muzzleloader. I would be sick to my stomach if the state said I couldn't use a muzzleloader with a cap and I only had to use an inline with a 209 primer. My old one was made by my dad and it's a great feeling carrying that gun in the field. I get the same feeling when I am carrying his old army carbine that he had. It provides me with a great hunting experience and gives me time to reflect on him and how I can influence my son and daughter in the hunting sports. Geez, my son LOVES and I mean LOVES modern sporting rifles! The optics these things have are amazing!! The rate of fire and the accessories are awesome! It sure is funny to hear about the OLD guard up and arms about those too! I am so glad that the constitution protects my son and his love for modern guns. He gets a kick out of the old school carbine, but like he says of the modern rifles, "the stock is adjustable, you can have two different sights on it, you can attach a flashlight, have a handle on the bottom, and extra shots!!" I tell him it's not my cup of tea, but I love you and I am glad you love the sport I cherish. Funny how OLD people don't like the change in technology in firearms and bows.
What are the let offs again on those bows everyone is using? I am sure it's not 85%??? right??
