I've said it before, I'll say it again I oppose crossbows during archery season for two reasons

#1 because the whole basis of archery is draw in the presence of game, you have to outwit that animal very very close to you by pulling back your bow without it detecting you, and this is a very hard skill to master. The crossbow (and drawloc) totally eliminates this.

#2 Allowing crossbows open up archery season to allowing other primitive arms like muzzleloaders in the future, after all a crossbow is really just a bow rifle hybrid.
