What the heck? Are you really a hunter? I've read on this topic with mild interest but haven't commented until now.
I don't bow hunt but to me ABA and your position on this issue are astoundingly hypocritical. I find claims of moral superiority pretty hard to swallow coming from bowhunters...and I have zero issues with primitive weapon hunting.
The motive of preemptively curbing/preventing complaints of spearhunting feels more like misdirection tactic. I'd take a wild guess that ABA gets far more complaints about bow hunting in a given year than it's likely to get regarding spear hunting in 20 years.
