Subject: Air Bows HB4332
On Wednesday Sept. 2, 2020 @ 8:30am the Senate committee will be discussing the use of Air bows in Michigan.
We as Michigan Traditional Bowhunters Association oppose the use of this hunting tool in the general bow hunting season. This by definition is not a bow and arrow, it does not require any archery skills to use. Many other states have already denounced the use of this in their states for hunting. We already have alternative equipment in the archery season in the crossbow, by which can be cocked and de-cocked by way of mechanical pulleys and motors therefore this weapon (the Air bow) is not necessary or wanted in the general archery hunting season. Please contact your State Senators in regards to HB4332 Air Bows and let them know your feelings on this bill. To determine your senator, go to https://senate.michigan.gov/fysbyaddress.html
