I have no problem with crossbow hunters, they made it legal in VA for all hunters to use crossbows a few years back. Before it was just for people that could not pull back bows because of medical reasons. I know some people that decided to try compounds after using crossbows, it kinda got them into archery hunting and I think it is a good thing. I also think it is great for younger kids that can't put back enough weight to kill deer with a compound. I feel it is a good tool to get people into the world of archery and if it is legal, go for it!
