I was just asking because you did make it clear why P & Y was important to you, which was a legit reason that I will agree with. I just thought there might be another way of looking at this that i have yet to see.
To me Burnie a bow should be drawn, not locked into place. Thats my only complaint with a crossbow. Where's it going to end if we keep allowing things, gadgets, draw locks, etc? I wanna preserve the bow hunting heratige of what little is left. It kinda scares me. Is that so bad of me? Maybe it is, and if it is then I'm guilty as heck!
So, are you trying to protect bow hunting heratige, or bow hunting rights? I dont think the traditional heratige is in any way threatened. Ive seen it grow quit a bit since the advent of the high tech compounds. The high tech stuff gets people started, then when they have accomplished it, they move on to a bigger challenge. Id wagger many on this forum, right now got their start with compounds. Trad gear did take a big hit in the 80s on up to the 90s, but i think its making a come back. The old is the new, new.
But I under stand the idea of trying to insure the tradition continues. As for crossbows, im not sure what to call them, but it does not bother me that they are being used.
Good post Burnie, you have some good points in here! Its more the bow hunting heritage that I'm looking after or worried about. If no one did care and if P@Y didn't give a damn either who knows what people would be bow hunting with today.
