[BOBSTER]

Crossbows do not bother me at all. I still enjoy the use of my Mathews Z-Max and Bob Lee Recurve, but still only hunt with my Mathews, but love to shoot 3-D with the Bob Lee. I only use a bow 99.999% of the time and really do not know the last time I shot a deer or hog with a firearm. That being said, I haven't killed anything this year yet either. Crossbows have there place for everyone. One day that might be the way I will have to hunt.

Although there are some people out there who would suggest (unethically in my opinion) that they have almost the same range as a muzzleloader, I don't think the affects of crossbow encroachment were near as bad as many of us thought it would be.

I do however still think that the crossbow manufacturers who lobbied for it wasted a golden opportunity to extend the deer season by asking for a post gun season crossbow season. Now that would have boosted crossbow sales.

Ssssssshhhh!!!! I am gonna have to agree with my husband. I hunt and shoot 3-D with my Bob Lee Recurve and haven't picked up a compound in four years. I really started out bowhunting and have killed more with a bow than I have with a gun. Crossbows have there place and I would like to eventually take an animal with one, same as I would a handgun. Both would be close shots for me. I just would like to say that I did it!
