i dont have a problem with the use of crossbows during archery season,,,,the only advantage i see is you dont have to draw at the shot,------for accuracy they are no different ,i shot allot of different crossbows i personally would be thrilled if i was given the opportunity to take big game with another weapon ,i have shot whitetails with 22-250 right up to a 450,from a recurve to the new age high speed monsters,......the muzzleloader the hawkens is awsome shot a few with that im still breaking in my cva ultra mag.............lets here some input about the crossbows
