you know not of what you speak if you say there was popular support for crossbows in regular bow season. I was a working GW then, in contact daily with hunters, esp bowhunters. In the years before the CAB legalized crossbows I had not one hunter ever propose to allow crossbows to be a legal bow season weapon. That was a damn lie told by the CAB and commish at the time.
Absolute spot on truth. There was no significant number of people calling for the inclusion of crossbows in archery season. This was not a move made in response to the desires of the people. It was a move made because Crossbow companies bribed the right people in order to set up a situation where they could sell a lot of crossbows to gun hunters. That's it in a nut shell.
