Since crossbows on public land seems to be your primary concern, there is a simple remedy for that: disallow them on public land. Similar restrictions are already in place on many public lands (restricted to shotguns only in some cases, shotguns, muzzle loaders, and bows in others, etc.) Since most hunting in Texas is on private land, such restrictions would affect the fewest hunters while freeing the rest to hunt private lands with crossbows during archery season.

Then I have no further argument pro/con except my philosophical one which is definitional. Since I don't lease, I will defer to others to standup and support thier hunting situation.

BTW, Thank you for posting here and discussing this issue. I was unaware of the Draw assist mechanism being within the current rules.......
