Ron,

I agree we can pick and choose the standards that are representative of the membership at large. And unfortunately, the org does not get an overwhelming amount of support from the archery community until there is a crisis.

However if WE, as you aptly put it, make a move to a no max. let-off as THE State org...the crossbow mfg's. will use this information to lobby for their inclusion in the Archery Only season as it will be viewed as tacit approval by proxy on our part due to the org's actions.

I don't want to get into to what should be viewed or regulated as acceptable equipment in the vein of what is too much....re: the shopping list of stuff you mentioned above, but rather would like to see the issue addressed of WHAT the potential impact to the membership and the archery season would be by such a move by the LSBA. It is the repercussions of such a move in the short and moderate term that must be weighed.

I do not think there is any benefit to be gained by this move. That is the point I sincerely would like to hear answered by you as the author of this motion and as the TBBR Chair....What is the benefit to the org? Versus the potential detriment.

Thanks for making yourself available for discussion, it is a rare treat to see members of the EC make themselves available on this forum. We have alot more lurkers then registered members here, but they do check in to see what the org is doing.
