After serving more than 20 terms as an officer in two different local archery clubs, I can tell you flat out for fact that's the way it always is. 90% of the people that want something will let 10% do all the work, and then come out ot the woodwork to take advantage of the 10%'s hard work. When you expand that across the entire state, that percentage really drops. I doubt there is a single state bowhunting organization that can claim more than 1% of the bowhunters in their state as members. Very few of those are actually going to be active in working for the org. Most won't even take the time to make a phone call, write a letter or even send an e-mail on behalf of an issue that concerns them.

The same is undoubtedly true on the crossbow side.
