I have another take on the defense of DJH. I read that journal enrty several times now, and from my grasp, he only called the fanatics that want to take xbows out of the picture the "Dark Side". Look at Pope and Young for example. Reported to have 7700 members. I believe I've read there are something like 3 million bow hunters in the USA. Round that 7700 up to 10,000 because I have poor math skills, lol and you have something like one P&Y member for every 300 bow hunters. They call us the biggest threat to bow hunting? Hmmm, must have some DARK motives on their Side!

Hey, don't like em? don't use em. Vote against them if that's the way you feel after repeatedly being shown harvest stats are the same between them and compounds and in no state of the 13 where they are legal for all or part of archery season has any season been shortened or bag limit reduced because of xbow harvest.

The Dark Side has long needed the light of truth and reason shown on it, DJH is just holding the lantern, imho.
