And altho we haven't gotten official statements and thus cannot post them, we are assuming most of the other hunting websites are onboard too. If anyone has any further postings to add, please post them so we all know who istaking a stand. Thanks.I personallywill only buy from those who will stand against the WHA from now on too. Really, it is that important IMHO, and my businesses will only carry products from those who back the hunting community.

There are many news reports in oppositiontoo, in many newspapers all across the country:

But it still isn't enough. Rather than continuing thebanter back and forth with the "plants" and otherpaid henchmen, the best thing to do is to approach more manufacturers and get them to join the majority who publicallyoppose this nonsense. Please e-mail any bow or accessory manufacturer that you do not see listed above, and ask fortheir OFFICIALposition on the issue. Both Polaris and Wal-Mart are sponsors of the WHAfrom what I understand,(unverified but supposedly)so we'll need to send e-mails to them and ask them their positionstoo.
