Crossbows approved in NC
Crossbows will be allowed for use by all hunters in the upcoming 2010-2011 season.
This is a major blow to the NC Bowhunters Assoc(NCBA), that opposed the rule change, and had a writing campaign to delay the rules for one year until the legislature could decide on it. When it went before the legislature, they had several senators and reps in their back pockets to introduce bills to disapprove the rule change. However many concerned NC hunters, not swayed by this radical fringe group of less than 1300, contacted their senators and reps and asked that the bills be defeated. They died a slow death in committee, never making it to the senate or house floor.
Congrats to ALL NC hunters!!
