The year it was passed, I did some research to see just how many people had actually attended the CAB meetings asking for crossbows to be legalized. There was 1. Big Jack had asked a few times over the prior 5 years. And he already had an exemption to use one.

So, Troy is correct. There was no outcry. Carry on.

thank you Barry.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

And I agree that there was no outcry before the CAB brought it up the first time. There was however many folks for it after the CAB started kicking the idea around. You think all the hundreds if not thousands of people who bought xbows within a couple of years after it changed were against it passing?

And most people who were against it, if they will give an honest answer will say now that they have no problem with it because there were no noticeable negative differences after the change. No increase in night hunting, no deer killed at 125 yards with xbows but lots more kids and women hunting during archery season.

I was against, very outspoken about the CABs motives and methods. I have no problem with crossbow users. Heck, I think it ought to be legal to kill em with a rock, bat, coke bottle, etc......

I don't think the "hundreds, if not thousands" were against it, they didn't have an opinion either way. But there sure as hell was NO groundswell of support for crossbows except in the CABs announcements...just wasn't there. I said as much back then and had the Commish asking for a record of my posts on the subject.
