no, they have hung their hat on this definition, they should do the same with their name, broken record but if you head afield with a crossbow you will be bowhunting, all same tactics, distances, harvest percentages, in the eyes of wildlife management it sure seems to be a bow and in the eyes of the animals too...a couple little technical differences maybe similar to fingers vs release aid or single pin slider vs multi fixed pin, dual cam compouns vs recurve/traditional...grasping at straws, gotta accept its bowhunting, maybe not archery hunting by definition but its bowhunting alright
if we need a crossbow organization then aba MUST change its name to archeryhunting in the middle and while we are at it we better have associations for hoyt, Mathews, bowtech, pse and then the rest can gang up in one....cuz I hear those bowtech guys are pretty snobby, not sure I wanna join that membership, oh, and then one master organization called the alberta bowhunters association can rule all the separate little associations of snobs...wait, we already have a bowhunters association....wtf? doesn't seem to be realizing all the bowhunters wants at all lol, just the archery purists
relax potty, we still got our muley's in the bowzone every year...what gives....the crossbow would not have changed a thing, the compounds are already grown past the effective numbers for harvest percentages that were originally set up....we compound guys didn't need any help to push how many zones to draw for antlerless moose/trophy mule deer etc. etc.
it is NOT a threat, just a tool without a home yet a perfectly good home for it exists and benefits all hunting period, giving hunting more versatility and options to more people to enjoy what bowhunting is all about, it changes nothing, it will hurt opportunity NOT....because it IS a bow in every way that really matters
