H.B. 968~Allowing Crossbows During Archery Season
The following email was sent to me by Wendy White to give everyone another perspective of the HB 968.
It passed the Senate yesterday with a 31-1 vote. We spoke before the senate committee the week before and it passed with a 4-1 vote and the 1 was someone that came in at the last and replaced another committee member. LSBA lobbied those senators hard too.
Only 3 persons showed on the opposition and one chose not to speak. The two who did speak were the current president of the LSBA, and the past president.
Their testimony was based off of non facts or truths so they weren't taken seriously. Comment pertained to crossbows shooting game at 100 yards, which is not the truth. Then the other part of the testimony pertained to the PSE Tac-15 which isn't even on the market. It's a bastard weapon which consists of an AR-15 lower end, and so far, in the Crossbow community here in the USA, there isn't any interest in it. There is some interest in Italy, but would have to get a permit since it has the AR-15 lower end.
The LSBA put out a call to arms at 9AM Friday morning before the Monday 3PM hearing. There were over 2,000 views to the thread, but alot of the membership didn't disagree with allowing crossbows into archery season, so no masses of protestors showed up at the Capitol. It was Butch and myself, two reps from Barnett Crossbows and one rep from the American Crossbow Federation, then Speaker of the House Gibb showed up to testify FOR.
Also, my good friend Keith Warren and daughter Mattie testified FOR and she did a great job following in brother Colton's footsteps offering testimony describing what it would mean to her and her hunting girl friends to be able and hunt during Archery season......
