That's the first time I've read those talking points from NABC, but I had a strange feeling of deja vu while reading it. Most of their talking points come straight from that old report released by PBS's anti-crossbow committee.
I don't wonder that support for their opposition to crossbows was unanimous. From what I heard - and it's only hearsay - they didn't allow anyone in the door that wasn't rabidly anti-crossbow.
Their arguments (talking points) are so thin the only way they can win is to out number and out organize the pro crossbow folks. Thanks to modern communication via the internet they are losing ground on the front lines for a change. Ohio, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Wyoming, Tennessee, Virginia and just this year Louisiana and South Carolina all have full inclusion now. Michigan is waiting for a senate vote after the house passed their bill at 94-14-2. Pennsylvania doesn't even need a vote it's in the hands of their game commission and may get passed in October.
