If the bow hunting organizations want to make an effort to get a good reading on howa broad range of hunters across the state feel about the crossbow, then fine. But they don't seem to be doing that.
Using a crossbow is like using worms in the fly section of a trout stream? Logic like that is exactly why you're gonna lose on this issue.
Well NJ bow hunting organization did exactly that, (much to their dismay) I'll let everyone read it for themselves .......
Our initial reaction was to stand firmly behind the UBNJ’s crossbow policy (which by the way parallels the current P&Y club standards)opposing the introduction of the crossbow into any bowseason, with the exceptionof those who are disabled, as is the current policy. However, in order to see how our membership felt the UBNJ performed its own survey. The results surprised some of our Council members, indicating that our membership was virtually split down the middle regarding this issue

You Will Notice however as you "read on" they will still FIGHT this, depsite that obvious outcome, which IMO "says a great deal" about the whole issue, IF "you" belong to any bow organization who IS fighing anything without asking the Memberhip (who pays All the bills) inquire about "why" they would fight anything or sign onto the NABC/PBS "stuff" before surveying Every member.......
Warning:
YOU may not like hearing " you don't really matter" WE do what we're going to do, for our own selfish reasons (may not be in those "exact words" but a horse is not a cow, it's still a horse)
