"MEA CULPA", rather than yours!!!
(These days, I shoot a XB more than hunting with any firearm, as our TEXAS CROSSBOW HUNTING CLUB has TWO huge ranches leased. Both have a LOT of different kinds of game. = "Gun leases" are $$$$$$$$ here.)
Can you tell me more about the required "crossbow course"?
(I shoot an old 150# HORTON YUKON SL, that will do a "pass through" of most any game animal.)
If you have had a crossbow license(any state) after 1979 and can prove it, you won't have to take the course. You can google maine crossbow rules.
