This my two cents!
The legislature introduced a bill to make the X-bow legal in Archery Season.
The LSBA was the ONLY archery association in the State of Texas to attempt to stop this bill.
The bill passed, leaving the following options:
1. Use a crossbow or not.
2. Landowners allow crossbows or not.
3. Bowhunters allow crossbows on their lease or not.
4. Texas Bowhunting and archery associations by-laws allow the crossbow or not.
5. Take up golf.

This subject is a moot point now and has been rode hard and put up wet. I think it is time to move on to more important current matters that must be dealt with such as:
1. Election of new LSBA Exective Council Members for the coming year.
2. A new editor for the LSBA magazine. (very important)
3. A new Banquet chairperson
4. Membership recruitment methods ( on-going for 35 years)
Your input and ideas would be most welcome to the current and future LSBA E.C., and would be a lot more productive for the growth of our association than wasting time on a dead horse.
