Crossbow Bill Passes House

[roger]

This is an update to the crossbow issue currently in the TX Legislature. The bill allowing use of crossbows by anyone in the TX archery season has passed the House of Representatives with only one representative voting against it. It now moves to the TX Senate for consideration, where it will likely pass easily as well if there isn't a real groundswell of movement from bowhunters across the state making an impact with their senator.

It takes more than just the leadership of LSBA testifying and contacting legislatures to move them. They must hear repeatedly from a lot of constituents (VOTES!) in their districts before they will consider this something to vote against. That apparently didn't happen in the House. Remains to be seen what happens in the Senate, but the bill will likely move through quickly.
