The total number of households and commercial buildings in a state that require the use of these tools, combined with the number of operators of these intruments, I think is a much greater number, than the number of bowhunters in the state. Statistically speculating.
EXACTLY!...That is my point, there is minimal (none?)state mandated skills and safety training for private operation of lawn tools....despite the fact that it impacts so many people....so then why should there be state mandated training for something (bowhunting) that impacts relatively few people?
