I'm pretty much saying that the very small minority of people who actually belong to Bow hunting organizations in any given state shouldn't call all the shots, especially since there is not even a consensus opinion within those organizations. On the other hand, if a clear majority of bow hunters statewide clearly voiced an objection then it would carry some weight. But that is not gonna happen and ya gotta ask yourself why. You also gotta consider that not all folks are "pure" bow hunters. many use a gun or bow depending on the time of the season or their mood. Does the fact that someone uses a gun too, or would like to use a crossbow, disqualify them from having a say in things?
