I've had a bow off & on for many years. With work & family I never did hunt with it much. Now I see buddies going to the crossbow, one just bought an Excaliber. This particular guy does have a shoulder problem & has the medical waiver.
I see more States are opening up crossbow hunting. I think MI just opened up all bowhunting to crossbows, IN too. I know traditional bowhunters don't care for it much & are against it here in WI. With the age of many hunters I can see it continuing. It may start with age or medical restrictions.
That all said, I can see myself possibly getting a crossbow in the next few years, no use right now. They say it may be like the run to inline M-L's 25 yrs ago. I know the crossbow manufacturers are all pushing to open up the regulations. We just had a bear hunter on our property use a crossbow, glowing bolt & all. The 300lb bear ran about 100 yrds but the crossbow did O.K..
There must be a few out there going to the crossbow?
