A xgun is not archery tackle for one... Albertans voted and agreed on that, and that they dont belong in the archery season.... majority of your piers agree with that.
Two, many of the archery privileges bowhunters enjoy today are a direct result of hard work from organizations like the aba...... ( get it stinky?)
Alberta is full of organizations that are very specific, and many general ones as well... 3 guys crying on AO, is a far cry for support of xguns. Only a strong organization could prove me wrong, otherwise I look at it , like a few jealous guys that want to eat their cake too.
If there is that much interest in xguns, start a club and put your issues forward...jump through the hoops and get what you want. The archery association of this province does not want xguns in their club jor do they acknowledge xguns as anything similar to bows.... theyve worked hard for what they have, and wouldn't share it with a weapon that isn't a bow either...
