I live in Ontario until I move to Alberta and crossbows are fully legal here and have been for many many years.I really don't see any negative affects of using them during and regular archery season. I would never say a compound is easier to master but I wouldn't say the crossbow takes no skill to use either. In Ontario we can choose between traditional bows,compounds or crossbows and its really not a big deal here.I'm certainly not trying to pick a fight with anyone,I'm just saying what my experience has been. I respect any hunters choice to use whichever legal weapon they choose to hunt with. If it's legal then its fine with me even if its not the way I would choose to do it.

As far as your other post....I don't have to justify myself to you.... But ill touch on it...The numerous new hunters I've brought into archery, the countless first deer I've seen. The opportunity to hunt beside me in some of the most sought after permission around.... I can guarantee I've done more than most.
Computer hunter...lol.... Look me up! Don't get to upset at the small sample you may find on the net...
This one topic, that I'm passionate about, and willing to fight for on all levels. Xguns don't belong in the alberta archery seasons and bow zones.
Now...
Explain how you believe xguns will increase hunter recruitment?
And don't confuse it with a number swing in weapon categories..... (Check some of my previous posts)
111,000 licensed hunters in alberta, 16,000 licensed bow hunters...
Explain?
