BCWF to push for CROSSBOW BAN

[Gateholio]

Does the BCWF arbitrarily decide casual hunters like me should not be allowed to hunt with archery tackle because I don’t fit their purist criteria?

No, and that is why overly dramatic threads like this one can be so damaging. It encourages a false perspective that the BCWF is moving fast to ban crossbows, which is not the case.

There are a number of layers proposals like this must travel through the BCWF before being suggested to government, and then it is up to the ministry to decide whether they would like to proceed, not proceed, get more public input or just ignore the whole thing. And as a proposal like this is sure to be very controversial, it’s unlikely it would proceed very far in the BCWF anyway.
