I'm all for crossbows and muzzleloaders having a season, but I personally dont think you can compare a crossbow to a compound, for the same reason you cant compare a longbow to a compound. The crossbow has advantages (such as less movement) in the same way that the compound has advantages to the longbow.

Personally I'd love to see seasons for each, but I dont want either to be lumped into 'archery' seasons...for obvious reasons.
