The funny thing is if there is a threat to bow hunting or bow seasons it would be the lack of inclusion and diversity amongst these groups. Together they would have a much stronger voice than they do divided like what we presently see.
The fact there is a thread describing how it has become easier to get a crossbow permit for use in bow season will anger a great many members on here.

I've bow hunted for 35 years and ^^^^^ is the truth. I used to be one of those guys who thought the inclusion of crossbows in the archery season was to be treated as a threat. I have since come to my senses.
