Crossbows replacing archery in october?

[tinman]

I agree, we cannot ignore this issue...it will be back. I wish we had the time and manpower to compete with the force the x-bow manufacturers put into their effort each year. We need the NBEF/BRC/IBO/P&Y to produce a positive video for all the State Bowhunting Org's to use to combat their annual $$$$ spent by the x-bow manufacturers.

I know, Trey...there are no x-bow lobbyist registered in Austin.

I encourage you LSBA members (who no longer post on the biggest bowhunting site in Texas) to stay involved there. Great group of people there and a very large group of dedicated bowhunters. Though we may not always agree with everyone, we're all brothers of the bow and we should represent the LSBA to the best of our abilities where ever bowhunters gather...on this topic, while I won't censor my feelings, I will try to better represent in the future.

NBEF has a safety course for X bows. Their goal is to promote safey with all equipment.

I agree with Joey here. It may tend to get cliquish over there, but that's just a select few. There are a couple thousand others or more who are NOT in that clique.

Everytime I start to badmouth the second biggest traditional site, I have to remind myself of this. I forget sometimes though... Prolly why I'm in banned camp.

I agree with that. The good guys far out weigh the bad.

I have seen a glimpse of a clique here..I think it will happen anywhere you have so many people spending that much time together (work, church, wherever)
As for the original topic. I have voiced my opinion on that till I was blue in the face & will prepare myself to do it again!
