The idea of bowhunter ed is torequire it for new bowhunters, not to drag experienced hunters into a class they don't need.

I've already said that I'm pretty neutral on crossbows but am worried that it is likely to be attractive to people who have not gotten into archery till now because it's NOT easy. If the crossbow winds up attracting people expecting an easy way to archery hunt, those people could probably benefit from mandatory bowhunter ed.

Again,I support bowhunter ed for newbies only, not for existing archery hunters
