Frank1, You are certainly entitled to your opinion and it's always good to hear different points of view. Personally, I must respectively disagree with your assessment. There are a lot of good things that get promoted; baseball, hot dogs, McDonalds, and Ford trucks are a few for example. Bow hunting has surely experienced vast promotion. Most any organization that seeks to be successful thrives for promotion. Heck, even sex gets promoted. I hardly doubt it needs promoted to survive. Handgun hunting, in my opinion, is either moving forward or it's falling backward. I have devoted a great deal of my time and energy to see this alternative method prevail. And will continue doing so. I sure hope it stands the test of time.
