The funny thing is if there is a threat to bow hunting or bow seasons it would be the lack of inclusion and diversity amongst these groups. Together they would have a much stronger voice than they do divided like what we presently see.
The fact there is a thread describing how it has become easier to get a crossbow permit for use in bow season will anger a great many members on here.

That sure is interesting hey?
I have been bow hunting for 36 years and never looked at it that way, started with a recurve, went to a compound for improved speed and accuracy and going to a crossbow because I am old with injuries to my shoulder and elbow.
Never considered myself as an elitist at any stage and never looked down on anyone either.
