Interesting site that looks to have the entire book posted online. This is by far my favorite book on crossbows.

Thanks for the post about the book. Looks like a very interesting, fact-filled source about horizontal bows.
I also noticed on your post that your "location" refers to the state of Michigan. If you didn't register yet for an Ex-Blast newsletter through your e-mail, it just announced that the Michigan commissioners are voting on March 5 on legislation permitting the use of crossbows during the state archery season. I just talked to an old friend who works at a big hunting/fishing store in Mackinaw City, and he heard it is likely to pass so their store has already ordered extra hunting crossbows. To encourage a yea vote, e-mail your support comment to <glodent> or phone at 517-373-2352. Good luck!

Sorry that the above e-mail address that I added in the above post did not show-up completely. I don't know why. Maybe they are automatically blocked here for some reason. I'll try again now. [email protected] If it doesn't appear on this post, at least the ph. # is above.Timothy
