I too think that, if the approach was to regulate size, weight, cutting diametre there would be a proper point made. To "ban" a tool, absurd! Too primitive, coming from a bowhunter, ridiculous! We would love to see Atlatls and Spears written into the regulations, just to rid ourselves of ridiculousness! An arrow is an arrow, wood, aluminum, fibreglass, carbon and the like. How many hunters knew what an Atlatl was, before it was brought up? How many hunt with them? So few, that it's a moot point. The ABA needs to withdraw their proposal to ban! What we need to see, is the Atlatlists and Spear hunters have a voice in determination of regulating this tool. Why have our voices not been taken into account at ANY GM for the ABA, AFGA, or AGMAG? Yes, we are an extremely small group, but we should still be heard for our opinion on the issue!!
