One point that I rarely see in discussions about crossbows is the fact that it is a super way to intruduce young hunters to the archery season. Whether or not crossbows will diminish the number of traditionalists, I can't say. For as long as I've been hunting here in Ohio, they have been legal for anyone to use during the archery season. I do know that it is a wonderful way for me to spend time with my younger siblings in the woods, and I've had the priviledge of being present when they were given opportunities at whitetails. Had they been using compounds or traditional archery gear, I don't think that they would have been proficient enough to go into the woods after live game. JMHO
