[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1780013, member: 110162"] That's how I'm feeling more and more these days. I managed an archery shop and was the head tech guy on the equipment when Ga legalized crossbows for archery season. When they first passed the law, I was against it . My thought were, if you dont want to put in the time to get proficient with a bow, stay out of the woods till gun season. As time went by I changed my outlook on the subject . There was no way to force someone to put their time and due diligence into becoming lethal with a bow, so for those that either didnt have the time or will to put in the practice time with regular archery gear, the crossbow was a way to reduce wounded deer . I could get someone who had some skill with a rifle ready to be lethal out to 30 yds or so with a crossbow in an afternoon on our indoor range. Past 30 yards, being able to accurately range distance became necessary. As much as I hated sharing the archery woods with bowguns, it was better for everyone involved if it shone a better light on archery hunting by reducing waste. I cant shoot a bow anymore because I dont have the dexterity in my neck to turn into the bowstring and aim. I'm out of choices if i want to get out in the woods in the early season, so a crossbow it is ! [/QUOTE]
