I should also point out...it would just be the minority that would ruin it! Not all people who are into archery are idiots! :) No doubt Dougie has the same view. Hopefully it will work in NSW.

It only takes one idiot to really ruin your day though. Better to ease into it imo.

I actually think it's a great idea, but you would need to put heavy restrictions on where and when you can use them.

Sounds like a good idea to me interms of why it is illegal now or how it should be introduced much better to use education instead of legislation.

Except you can't legislate against idiots. Imagine TNA on a hot summers day with kids and parents everywhere feeding bread to ducks and a couple of bogans trying to hit carp with compound bows.....
