If they did, the line would form with other groups wanting specific representation. In-fighting and animosity would abound.
There is nothing stopping the existing Bow Clubs from continuing to speak in a united voice and lobby for the specifics they want on their own. I also believe that if Bow hunters or Bow clubs were unfairly targeted by new or changing regulations that would mean a loss of hunting opportunity, access, etc, that the BCWF would indeed support them and fight onside with them. That's why I don't feel that the BCWF should have a Bow Committee, your rights are already being represented as are rifle hunters etc.
