I think i have heard before that they don't see the bow as an efficiant killing tool. But i could be wrong, and we all know thats a lie!!

By the way VA that avatar is awesome!

1) The bow has always been regarded as the preferred tool of poachers.
2) The Queens ducks, geese, swans and deer were walking around with arrow, tipped with feild points, through their bodies.
3) It is considered inhuman tothe majority of thosewhich vote (see above).
4) Rather than fix the problems, it was easier to ban bowhunting.

That's my take on the situation...

X3!
