Well if that's the case then crossbow hunters should help your cause not hurt it. If you were in trouble with out the additional deer kill numbers that crossbows added then letting crossbow hunters in seems like a plus.
My state rep has personally told me that many of his crossbow hunting constituents have asked for the removal of the season restrictions. Granted not all, but some are. If only 1 tells their state rep that bowhunting does not work they have tried it for 2 years, the damage to bowhunters and the future of archery season is in jeopardy.
