I can guarantee harvests will increase and due to increased participation and increased success. That means all the benefit of the season will be gone. Because people can read I am repeating that.

BC and SO are examples of how that works and so are many states.

For those that want to stamp there feet and say they want it their way, why are you different than the ABA? If you get your way you will ruin the entire season. The entire benefit will disappear. And that's not selfish?
1. A crossbow is not more efficient. In fact it is less efficient. A crossbow requires considerable more draw weight (3 or more times) than a compound bow to achieve comparable energy.

2. You can't guarantee anything.

3. You have it backwards. The ABA wants it their way. Crossbow enthusiasts want inclusion but are thwarted by "elite" archers determined to undermine that proposition. Undermining by means of misinformation (as you provided above), selfishness and greed.
