To me success rates are irrelevent to this whole issue. I know guys that probably have lower success rates with their rifles than most bowhunters !
Does that mean that they should be able to hunt archery season with their rifles??
To me, x-bows are fundamentally closer to a rifle than they are to other forms of archery. Drawing and holding being the main reason.
