Bas, I've had three phone conversations with NRA Staff and their nation wide support for the crossbow in archery season is way off the charts. NRA main number 800-392-8683, Darren 703-267-1207, and John 703-267-1141. Don't let them push you off to the side and just leave a voice mail opinion.
The NRA also posted a news release on their website listing PA as the 12th state in which they made crossbows legal during archery season and how they were going to work to push the crossbows into all state archery only seasons (tx will be the 13th state). In PA the NRA actually sent three different email alerts urging their members in a five state area to contact the PA Game Dept and support the crossbow issue. Here in TX it wasn't before TPWD where its been defeated in the past, all they needed was a few politicians.
Monday before last the NRA Lobby guys were present when the tx senate overwhelming passed the crossbow issue here in TX when support against the crossbow issue is running 6 against to 1 for. In PA two of the players who voted for the crossbows have been replaced and at this time the crossbow issue in PA is in question of passing whole all together. TX needs to follow this lead and remove those who placed the crossbow into our archery only season.
