Im very open to your suggestions though! Without the argument of `a crossbow is archery equipment`. Because its not.. at least right now. Lets start there.
At least you seem to be"open" to finding a solution. Sad part is the solution
is mentioned in your last paragraph. That is the mindset that requires some adjustment. From that point, were are on the road to finding the elusive balance you refer to. If you want some balance, perhaps try increasing the required minimum compound poundage to 70 lbs, not reducing it to 35. That's shooting yourselves in the foot, so to speak, as far as increasing participation goes. On the bright side though, 35lbs will also increase the number of draws available for many families. Somehow "balance" doesn't seem to be part of the equation.
