Well, right now in Alberta crossbow are regulated the same way as a firearm. Would you argue that a 300 Rum and a shotgun slug gun have the same capabilities? Should they have separate seasons?
So the bow argument/justification is accepted and the crossbow argument/justification is not. The ABA will most likely not promote crossbow use in the archery season, so it will be up to crossbow user to organize and lobby for change.
