Yes indeed, P&Y HAS done a good job of defining a bow vs a crossbow. SO WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE DEFINITION CHANGED?

And no, I didn' t mean you personally. I' ve served 17 consecutive terms as an officer in a couple of different archery clubs, with an 18th probably coming in a few months. I' ve seen lots of things and learned more than I ever wanted to know about my fellow archers and bowhunters.

Only a tiny percentage of them support their local clubs. Even a smaller percentage support their state bowhunting organizations. Even a smaller percentage than that support their national bowhunting organization, which IS Pope and Young Club, whether they like it or not.

And the vast majority of those few that do support these clubs and organizations are hardly anything more than a name on the mailing list. They don' t DO anything. They don' t attend meetings. They don' t vote on policy. They don' t pay a whole lot of attention to club rules. They don' t roll up their sleeves and pitch in with the work.

Even so, they' re the first ones to start bitching and whining when something doesn' t suit them. Like they have some divine right to have their way over the rights of the people that DO the things that have to be done.
