they are no more effective than a bow,for most they are only good to about 30-35 yds. most individuals will treat it like thier rifles/shotguns. a week or two before season theyll go out and shot it 10-20 times and figure thats good enough.

i do agree with you on the fact that its the manufacturers pushing for it. last year here they allowed it across the boards for gun season,no special gimp permit needed now,and the prices literaly doubled overnight because it caused a craze for it. it all of a sudden became the way to hunt deer during gun season,alot of gunners left the barrel at home and bought a new crossbow.

me myself, i'll stick to me stick ;D

Tim, If you've never been to Pennsylvania during gun season you wouldn't understand. We have more hunters here than deer or acers of huntable land for that matter. Gun season brings out all the slather a## hunters that don't know what there doing, don't practice with their weapon and don't care about others, or there property. If they legalise cross bows for archery season everyone of these slather a##es with have one out tromping around the woods trying to put on deer drives and trespassing on private property like they do in gun season.

Ryano:
In short its not the weapon so much that bothers me. Its the A-holes it tends to draw in.....

Pappy:
Well said Ryan,that is kind of what I ment. :)

Here in Western Canada, Xbow hunters can only participate during the muzzleloader season, which is 1 month after bow season opens. We have the month of September to ourselves. Works very good here.

The Burnt Hill Archer:
im with Ryno about the people. that was my first impulse. and yes the "doctors excuse" is WAY over abused. 40 some thousand have been issued that way. i honestly dont have a problem with them if the guy literally CANT draw a real bow. but as Ryno sayd the salther - a**es that just want to get away with the easy way, ive got no tollerence for. in my opinion if it has a stock, a scope, a trigger, a safty, and can be caarried around the woods cocked and ready to shoot, it belongs in the gun season.
