[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 202121, member: 12"] Len Here in VA about 2-3 yrs ago they made crossbows legal for anyone. We had the usual crying, wailing and moaning of the traditionalist archery crowd that the world was coming to an end and we must all repent and crucify all crossbowers to be saved. However, couple years later, they all survived the process and we have a lot more hunters bowhunting now. and everyone seems to be getting along and by all aspects it has been very positive across the state. I bowhunt for two weeks in MO every year with a disabled vet who uses one and he kills out to 40 yards and only way he can bowhunt. His new one cost over $1900. Cannot wait to see this beast. We are losing hunters more and more every day. If it takes crossbows to get new ones out, then I am all for it. They are not bad or good, just another tool. Just have to know how to use it. They cannot shoot 100 yards and hit a 2" circle, they are not the weapon of choice of a poacher yada yada. Couple points. Crossbows lose KE fast after about 30-40 yards and penetration is critical. Cut on impact broadheads are an absolute must. Best I have seen are the Rage Expandables. Super penetration, fly like darts and huge holes. BH [/QUOTE]
