Most of this issue has had the facts twisted out of all recognition by one of Alberta's most anti-ABA and vehement pro-crossbow apologists we have seen. I have no doubt that this issue is being used in a very cynical and disingenuous manner. I am so disgusted by this that I will refuse to buy any magazine that donkey has written in or buy any product he has endorsed.
As an avid archer and bowhunter I could support the use of Atlatl's, spears, whatever. They just need to be defined. A rifle needs to be .243, a bow needs to be 45#'s with a sharp broadhead, and a spear needs to be (?????).
If you can't get that then you don't want to know what I think you can do with your spear.

So are you against the ban?

It says that a broadhead must be a minimum 7/8" wide and can't be designed to resist being pulled out.
The ABA has tried to rewrite history - fact: they proposed to BAN spears and atlatls. But keep it up, it is mighty entertaining.

And Why is it up to a Bowhunting Org to deside what other weapons other then a Bow Should have regulations imposed on them? I just think the "BowHunting" Thing gives it all away.
