welcome to bow hunting!!! get good at pulling your bow back with as little body movement as possible.
you also know they opened up crossbows to everyone as of July.you can get in a crossbow setup for around 4 to 5 hundred mabey even a little cheaper.
I use all my vacation between oct 1 and jan 15th... hahaha.. My wife knows she can get me to do anything the rest of the year, but if its MY 4 months I will be busy if im not at work..
I say that if your not HANDICAPPED then leave the bowhunting to us bowhunters that can archery hunt without the use of a crossbow. I really hated to see the new law change for crossbows. Archery is what separated us bow hunters from gun hunters. I am sure there are going to be a lot of gun hunters out there that think that all they have to do is buy a crossbow and head to the field. If you think hunting is dangerous now, just wait and see.
This is one thing that concerns me.

There should be an xbow season that runs from muzzy to gun and thats it... I really see no difference between a muzzy and xbow except you get a bit longer range with the muzzy. You can get them bolts out to 75+ yards and more.

I do however doubt that many gun hunters will stick with xbows after a season or two. Its one thing to gun hunt 75+ yards, but its something entirely different to get within 20-30 yards that will be needed for ANY new bow or xbow hunter.
