Good points Pav. In addition to crossbows now (starting this year) being used in what was early archery season, look at the technology improvements in vertical bows in the last 10 years. Manufacturers have greatly improved the mechanical advantage in holding the bow at full draw for extended periods of time. They have improved range finders and sights. I believe there is now a sight that includes a built in range finder that "puts the sighting dot" just where you need to hold in order to hit the target. In my opinion it would be much, much easier for a lot more hunters to “double dip” now than did 10 years ago. And, I believe that a lot more hunters would do just that if given the opportunity.
