It is not doable for this years season.

If you hear more on the % of crossbows let us know. As you know this has been a long hard fought battle.....that isn't over yet.

Yes, don't be shy. It is going to be a hard  battle, but it's looking pretty good for the Hoosier cross bow guys.

Yes... I've commented 3 times on crossbows. Each time was with different data from other stare, as well as our own. Get your buddies and each member of your family to give input. Women and kids will greatly benefit fromthis proposal.
