RE: Elitist attitude
"If the UBP fought to ban Xbows in archery season,they must have a good reason!"
Ummm...no, that does not mean anything other than they had"A reason". Good,bad, selfish, for the good of all archers...the "reason" iswhat this debate is about. I appreciate that bowhutners want to keep it "bowhunting"( right there with ya), but excluding a bow simply because it is diferent and does not fall under "your definition" is such a waste of time. You reduce the ranks of bowhunters, give more reason for the states to open up more time to gun hunters to control the herds, and base most of yourreasons on assumptions and outright lies about crossbows and what they can/cant do and what kind of people use them. I have to deal with this attitude at the bowhunter ed level in my states. I have such a bunch of idiots wandering around with $1200 compounds refusing to teach crossbow safety (required in my state mind you) because they are "not a bow". Most have never even shot a crossbow(refuse to)and dont know its limitations. Groups like the PBS need to get their heads out of their *** and actually do something constructive for bowhunting for a change...
