It is easy to see the ABA should have just stayed out of the spear atlatl issue and stuck to helping bowhunters.
This has done nothing to benefit the ABA or bowhunters. Instead it has turned a number of bowhunters away from the ABA on an issue that has nothing to do with bowhunters. The small group of spear and atlatl hunters were happy left to there hunts and were not lobbying to join archery seasons or take away from bowhunting opportunity. ABA should have stayed neutral and left the spear/atlatl alone.
Sticking your nose where it does not belong rarely reaps benefits
