This almost sounds like a defeatist attitude, like you're giving up. If Washington had had the same we would have never won our independence. I wouldn't give up and make it easy and cost free just because we lost the first few rounds. PA is working hard, they have replaced two crossbow supporters on their game commission and now have a very good chance of reversing the crossbow for money agenda in PA.

You're right about the crossbow being in the minority as support for the crossbow is not being represented by actual crossbow hunters. Its running almost 7 to 1 against the crossbow being allowed during archery seasons. This ratio also runs the same with managers of our public hunting properties. Most public land managers will work to keep the crossbow out of archery season if we just give them the support and data to do so. When they learn there are no crossbow clubs teaching crossbow safety and that crossbow safety was not taught in Hunters Ed even managers that would support the crossbow issue have second thoughts.

The NRA and ATA have to pay a price, boycott. If they don't this will never end until all 50 states are included into their crossbow for money agenda.
