If the compound no longer holds any romance for the OP I highly doubt a crossbow would. lol. I find the crossbow an interesting weapon. I don't think they belong in archery only seasons because the drawing and holding of the string on a conventional bow involves so much movement and archer input that they are totally different to me. But they shoot arrows, and are short range weapons - so, humm. Where do they belong?
In firearms season...or maybe muzzleloader. It's too late now though, their lobby is way too strong to ever give up ground.
I used to really care about things like that, but the older I get the less energy I have to get very worked up about it.
