Where the heck did you find that I thought I read the regs from front cover to back every year and I didn't see that one?

See I did not know that and with out this debate I may have never learned that. I also learned something else very valuable with this comment. Crossbows do not have to be classified as archery equipment to be implemented into archery season which is also in the same section as the poundage requirements. Thank you for the info M.A.

 It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

I have rifles, inline muzzleloader, bow and cross bow
And I have hunted with all of them and enjoy it. It's not the fact that one is better than the other it's just another option for people to expand their horizons
in the early warmer part of the year. If someone can't hit the broadside of a barn
with a bow and can do well with a crossbow would that not be more responsible
rather than lazy. The bow is not for everyone so why not add another choice for people to enjoy the outdoors with. Maybe not so in lightening but I tried.

Exactly. ..
No group to represent the xguns.. just beg whine and plead to join the archery season , on the work of the aba and volunteers. ...
2 years have passed, more than enough time to organize something from the yes guys...but nothing again....

The bow isn't for everyone your right.....disabled people have provisions for exceptions.... and like everyone else, if your healthy pick up a bow....swell the Bowhunting numbers, its a widely accepted senerio, among archers.....
Like everything else in life, age does take it toll on our activities. .... and I'm ok with that. My turn will come , and ill put up less of a fight than my grampa did when they took his drivers license at 85...... c'est la vie...
We all have choices , make the most of your life and be a go getter... I'm sick of the entitled people of this world... in all fascists of life on this continent especially. ...

If you think that the ABA invented the archery only season single handedly you are crazy. I thought earlier you said you were not a member? How many times have they come begging for members from the AFGA?

AFGA has put in a lot more blood sweat and tears for conservation for every man than ABA has for just bow hunting. That there is called a fact that can not be disputed. Who is riding on coat tails I call B.S.
Your Turn Potty.

got nothing against the ABA, as long as people realize they are looking out for their member's interests and no one else's.

I'm sure glad you said continent and not planet because that would have been awkward.

The only ways this thread would get more interesting is...............
1- Crossbows were made by Savage
2-Shot in Archery season only
3- Shot by all the bad Butchers in Alberta.
