Crossbow Magazine

Hopefully everybody here is a member of the NRA. I know, the organization is far from perfect, but who does a better job, on a national level, of defending the 2nd amendment? Tell me, I'll join them too. I know it is easy to throw stones at the NRA, but much harder to answer the question of who does it better. Sadly, many simply throw the stones, can't answer the question of who is better and do nothing useful to defend the 2nd amendment.

The NRA magazines are mostly about guns & hunting but absolutely go into politics. And they would be remiss not to. If certain organizations, political factions or parties are generally against what you believe/enjoy, don't you want to know?

And if certain organizations, political factions or parties are generally against crossbows/crossbow hunting or just hunting, don't you want to know? I feel the Crossbow magazine would also be remiss to not tell us what they know, since it does effect us.

If you happen to like certain organizations, political factions or parties that are generally against crossbows. crossbow hunting, hunting in general or the 2nd amendment - well maybe you shouldn't! Maybe it is time to reexamine your affiliations.

And I realize that a person can be into archery and have no desire to have anything to do with guns. One of my goals in life is to do so well hunting deer with a crossbow, that I don't even hunt gun seasons.

But if that person who is into archery but not guns, also is fine with my 2nd amendment rights being infringed, (and votes for politicians who feel that way) then I'm not OK with that person. That is jut the way it is - like it or don't.

No I haven't read the article. My magazine hasn't arrived yet & it has been almost 24 hours since I subscribed!

Countries with extreme firearm control with little to no private firearms ownership generally severely restrict or prohibit hunting altogether. This includes crossbows also. In the U.K. and much of Europe, “hunting” is a rich man’s “sport” that bears little resemblance to what we consider hunting.
Been there, haven’t done that!

In the ‘70s, I lived in Oxfordshire , England. I wanted to fish in a beautiful little River about 5 miles from my house. To fish, I had to do the following: get a national fishing license, a county fishing license, buy a stamp (annually) for my fishing rod(one stamp for each), join a fishing club that has rights to the segment of the river I wanted to fish - very expensive dues and to be voted on to see if I could join, pay a water rights tax for that segment of the river, then only catch and release for the few little shad that could be caught. Hunting? Fishing is much simpler and less expensive. Hopefully, things have improved in the U.K. since then.
