Thanks rs for the notice. This bill was just brought to my attention on another forum. Those apposed to crossbows in Pa are circling the wagons and the propaganda machine is at full throttle. Here is the post on this bill from a crossbow forum : Pennsylvania Bill to legalize crossbows in archery season « on: July 04, 2008, 11:02:46 AM » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It has come to my attention by the United Bow Hunters of Pennsylvania that a bill was introduced and supported by at least 55 members to legalize crossbows in the Pennsylvania Archery season. As you would suspect they are in opposition to the bill and have already started their negative smear campaign to defeat this bill. They have already done a blanket recorded call system to all members and past members of the UB of PA to warn them of this and to contact their representatives in opposition. This is a battle we need to win, so all the help we can get, we need. I have attached a list they have posted on their website as talking points of why the crossbow should not be allowed read it in disbelief these people are consumed with keeping the archery season all to themselves at all costs. So again any and all help will be appreciated and please notify your friends , relatives and anybody else you know in Pennsylvania to support this bill and to contact their representative. I will keep you updated as this progresses with any additional attack material generated by the UB of PA. Please see the attached talking points of the UB of PA. and a flyer. Thanks, pa crossbow www.ubofpa.org/Talking%20Points.pdfwww.ubofpa.org/Bowhunter%20Alert%20Flyer.pdf

Actually some of their argument is true.
While a lot of their claims are grasping at the wind, just seems too bad it's come to this, with "supposid" grown adults resorting to this type of nonsence.
