[QUOTE="azarcher10x, post: 2266285, member: 57286"] I am mainly a Bowhunter here in AZ. I do my rifle hunting in CO. In AZ, crossbows are legal during archery season, with a Doctor's excuse. I know for a fact, the system is abused. With that being said, I feel that, for the most part, crossbows are somewhat of a handicap compared to using a bow to hunt. Yes they might have a first shot advantage in distance and accuracy, but it goes downhill from there. The noise is also a huge issue for me. Also,the chances of making a follow up shot, if necessary, are almost nonexistent. Where I totally disagree with AZ, is they allow the use of air bows during archery season. I ran into a guy last year who was taking shots at elk from 120+ yards. I believe he finally took one at an extended range. Don't get me wrong, it's done on occasion by archers, but it's not the norm. I consider archery, crossbows and even muzzleloaders, to some extent, to be primitive weapons. An air bow crosses the line for me! For archery, the projectile should at least be propelled by a string! [/QUOTE]
