Crossbows replacing archery in october?

[Stew1tx]

I think all of you on the EC know how I feel about Don and his rudimentary comments about archery while trying to maintain that he is as much of a die hard bowhunter as the next addict. I did not even respond to his lambasting of us last time because I was not going to fall into his trap. Mr. Zaidle, anytime you take someone's words of fact, ie our surveys, and tell them they are not worth spit or the paper they are printed on the tell them that you can tell them why, you better watch out for your numbers to change. I will be real selective how I support your publication and will probably tell the story any time someone comes up to me with your magazine or asks about it. If you want to be a big boy, present yourself as such.

There will not be any crossbow bill action until the next session at which time the house can start over or forget about it. I can tell you the TPWD is not the reason for this bill, nor are they for or against it. They will maintain neutral. Too many misreprested facts revolve around it for one. Speeds the same, less or equal KE, only as accurate as a compound/traditional bow with a 30yd range blah blah blah. These things, most of them shoot harder, faster and much more accurate than anyone with the same amount of time behind a bow would be able to achieve.
