No different than the don't accept rifles or cannons or fishing poles as archery equipment. Are you also upset that the NFA and CCFR fight for the rights of firearms owners? Like the ABA, they are a special interest group that promote and fight for the right of their Membership. When you join the ABA you do so knowing that they do not support crossbow inclusion in the archery season.

So if you want change, get organized, form a special interest group to promote crossbow use, and lobby government officials. Coming on here to whine and complain will have no effect on change and is "arguing for the sake of arguing."
This ^^^^^ says the obvious. However, the ABA does not represent the hunters in AB nor does it represent the bowhunters of AB. It is simply an association of people who are members of that group. There isn't going to be any "AB Crossbow Association" just like there isn't an "AB Muzzleloaders Association". All of these hunting fraternity associations just pick at one another..................what is the benefit of that to the entire hunting community?
