Bow Hunters Beware The Greens Are After You

Post by Shotfox » 30 Jul 2014, 8:22 am

There was a report on the ABC News last night about compound bows, bow hunting and target archery. It seems the Greens have shifted focus for the time being and are now wanting to ban Compound Bows and Bow Hunting in Australia. The ABC were in their element showing wounded animals from rogue hunters and the Greens were up in arms about archery and Compound Bow availability. Did anyone else see this ??

Yep,and as a bow hunter I was appalled at the lack of honesty in the reporting on the GAY B C !!!Although I wasn't at all surprised at their ability to distort the truth yet again!!!The fact that broad heads are used to stick into animals was enough to get this boys blood boiling they have no clue at all !!!!! Serious most wounded animals with a arrow with a field tip sticking outta them show up normally around the beginning of school holidays!!Go Figure and as for a bow being a concealed weapon are they for real 30" long ATA min and 12' wide takes 30 seconds to load if your proficient at archery and your arrows are normally 29'-30" long maybe because they come in camo they think that makes them concealable LOL Aren't these the same WANKERS that want to legalise Pot, Go Figure!!!What a f***ed up world these poor pathetic little wankers live in!!!That's my 20 dollars worth right there!!LOL

ABC = American Broadcasting or Australian Broadcasting in this case?

If the former, I have some work to do over here.

Warning mild rant coming::

I remember a mate back in '96 handing in his firearms saying he would be allright as he would always have his bows, well it is only a matter of time before Bows are as unnecessarily regulated as firearms.

Nothing ever satisfies the Greens/Animal libbers/radicals that are just anti everything. I have a few mates that welcomed their support against the super trawler a couple of years ago and who also support the Sea Shepherd etc. I have always said it is only a matter of time before they have banning recreational fishing in their sights this is now happening. I have also noticed a certain fishing presenter supporting the Sea shepherd and on principle no longer watch his show or go to his tackle outlets.

When will the general population see through these radicals and stop being lame arsed sheeple supporters?

We need a pro-human movement, hunting is natural.

The problem is them spouting all their rubbish from up on their moral high horses.

They get up and say "save the environment!" without a plan to actually doing anything, and nobody will call them out because they don't want to be seen as "anti-environment" for challenging them.

Or anti - whatever they are complaining about on a given day.

It doesn't matter that their actual plan is complete nonsense, if the general theme of it is a "good cause" people will just agree.

He is the most obvious one but is only the front, his true power came from Uni students and easily led city people on Mainland Australia swaying the government, never forget it was the Federal Government overruling the State government that gave the green movement its first real victory and unleashed decades of havoc which is still going on and will never cease.

A bow is basically a firearm in QLD as it is, no?

Need a license and the rest to have one?

No Not at all it still comes under the guise of sporting equipment!!!I have no problem importing them from all over the world (U.S.A) mainly!!!Arrows come from Jim bullseye in Florida and everything is perfectly legal to own without a license of any sort here in Queensland. You can walked down Queen st Brisbane with one and as long as your not threating anyone theirs nothing anyone can do!!!! Wouldn't recommend it though :lol: :D :lol: Send me a P.M if you would like a little guidance on this archery matter.

All good Westy.

Just curious, though there was some license needed for it up there but I'm obviously wrong. Got my wires crossed from something I read ages ago I guess.

Cross Bow yes you need a M class to own one as it can be carried loaded, but since a compound can be carried loaded it falls under Sporting Equipment .Well it did until this crap has hit the fan???? :x :shock: :x
