A very interesting thread indeed.
Congratulations on the OP for joining the ABA, you'll meet some Intresting folks for sure.
I don't shoot or own a x-bow yet.
I've been working up my limited skills on Trad archery so I can continue my archery thing.
If someone wants to use their compound unit, then more power to the person,,, same for the long bow.
Even if the hunting laws changed in favour of x-bow in archery season, then more power to the system.
I could care less if someone chooses what ever to harvest with, just my take on the way I feel I guess.
I did 14+ years of compound bows all season long, even threw rifle season,,, sometimes the harvest worked, many times it didn't.
Harvesting to me is just being out there, with or without success.
If a vote was open today on allowing a x-bow into the mix, I'd say sure.
Times are changing, I don't see an advantage or disadvantage since Harvesting game still takes time.
One would think that with aging archers that x-bow would keep the activities going, I know that I will fit that category in a few years.
My old time friend is doing the x-bow this year with his permit. He really enjoys getting out there,,, that's what really counts.
