[QUOTE="rick523, post: 704475, member: 46920"] Apology accepted I actually tried to post this on Sat. from my cell phone I was In eastern Pa. for the weekend for some reason I couldn't log in not really sure what the problem was,or is..No I have nothing against crossbows, or the people that hunt with them I know they fill a nich for those that can't shoot conventional type bows as you stated. There may come a day I have to shoot one but I'm only 63 I think I still have a few more years climbing into tree stands with my Matthews.( I hope) Good Lord willing. Thankfully We have a little more liberal view on guns in Indiana. I hope that continues. Our problem here is the firearms season is way too long close to four weeks when you add the muzzle loader season. Just to much pressure on the deer IMO. It used to be shot gun only then they added pistols now you can use rifles shooting straight walled pistol case ammunition from 44mag. upto 50cal. bushmaster. At the rate they are going I figure it is only a matter of time till they include center fire rifles and lengthen the season a few more weeks anything to take in the all mighty dollar. Ok enough of my rant. No my only problem with the crossbow is the longer shoots a lot of people take with them including a couple of guys I personally know. I can see a 50yd. shot with one but beyond that there is a good chance of wounding more than killing and I feel the game we hunt deserves better. I hope you are successful in your endevours.
