Mahly, it' s the politicians you have to worry about. That' s why P&Y wanted to maintain that ' clear and demonstrable difference' between bows and crossbows. High letoff bows with mechanical releases really do blur the lines plenty enough to sway the uneducated. Good luck.

I' ve fought crossbows in my state for 30 years, going to public input meetings of the Parks and Wildlife Department, mailing letters and sending e-mails, but now I' m out of the battle until you guys come to your senses.

It' s odd that everybody hollers WE have to stick together on issues like crossbows, but over something like P&Y restrictions it' s ' old men wanting the old times to come back' or ' you belong on the trad forum' and such nonsense as that. As a group, you want support from the traditional community when it suits your purpose but you' re not willing to even listen in good faith to what they have to say on issues that affect us all. That is, when what they have to say isn' t what you want to hear.

It' s supposed to be give and take. Most of you guys are takers only. You take what you want FROM bowhunting but very, very few give anything back.

And that' s a plain fact.
