Talk about trying to force a solution on a non existent problem. I would not want my membership dollars funding something so arrogant and wasteful, reminds me of the gun registry.

I agree with this.
I've played around with spears. Throw a spear into a archery target and see what does more damage. A spear has a lot of weight and does a lot of damage.
Instead of banning them they should maybe set a standard, kind of like the minimum Arrow length and broadhead size.
There are a lot of people who hunt with bows that aren't very proficient. Should we ban bows now too. Everything takes practice.
I don't know what a Atlatl is but I am going to look it up right now.
