Let me throw my two cents in the pot. For the entire exsistance of the LSBA (I have been with it for the whole show) we have fought the on going up-hill battle of membership recruitment. The annual dues paid to belong to the LSBA are the major portion of our budget income.
I don't think the issue should be deciding which news media to use, but to utilize all of the media outlets available to reach as many bowhunters across the State that we can. The potential of our website has long been under-used.
I applaude the decision to put the mag on the website, but we also need the hard copy . As said, not everyone has the i-net. and there is a lot of areas in this grand Sate of Texas where it is not available for the average people.
I constantly run into bowhunters that don't know that there is a State records system or even a bowhunting organization (LSBA) that works hard to perserve the bowhunting rights they take for granted. We spend too much time attemping to sell the LSBA to bowhunters that are already members.
I am a hard core bowhunter of 44 years, and the LSBA was brought into exsistance to offer the bowhunters thier own association, but being open-minded, I welcome any program to support the LSBA. Bickering among our ranks does not promote the results we need to continue for another 30 years. Membership is the key factor to survival, and keeping that member is the main focus. So channel your ideas in that direction and sign up a new member in your area.
