Crossbow Mania has arrived, my friends.  The good news about all the positive things that the crossbow can do for our hunting heritage is spreading like wildfire.  That, along with thousands of folks learning how fun it is to shoot and hunt with the crossbow, is creating a stir like none that has ever affected archery.

The predictable resistance should be ignored and not be taken seriously for a single second.  Any response or counteraction should proceed in an organized and methodic manner.  Let me use my home state of Minnesota as an example.

HUNTING FOR A NEW LIFE

Wounded Marine hopes for law to allow use of crossbow.

          A young Marine who lost an arm and a leg fighting in Iraq is now fighting for the chance to go hunting with his dad again.  Mark O’Brien, 24, grew up in the countryside outside East Aurora bowhunting with his father, David. A left-handed hunter, he would hold the bow with his right hand, pull back on the string with his left and let the arrow fly.
