Default RE: Call to Action!

Sure wish they would get rid of the ridiculous age requirements. In the last 10 years hunting has lost over 2 million hunters. This is due in large part to lack of interest by young people. The fact is: crossbow hunting is a fun and exciting way to hunt. Every archery range I've ever been to that allows crossbows to shoot along side verticle bows the people the most interested are the younger folks. They are the ones down on the crossbow lanes checking out the bows, asking to shoot them, and are generally impressed. The stuffy OLD vert guys show little to no interest in them and yet, these are the people legislation always seems to cater too. We already have a bunch of old-guy hunters we need to be doing everything we can to add excitement to the sport and attract more younger hunters and women. I firmly believe crossbows would help do this.
