One might say that the shooting groups might view the, as they say, the "primitive" hunting groups as a threat to shooting as it offers the anti-shooting crowd an alternative to gun sports. Is it possible once the shooters are more familiar with the "primitives" that they would turn against us.
OR am I being to paranoid, I see the same type of paranoia among my gun nut (good) friends and their reasoning sometimes goes beyond rational logic.
One of them, a good friend of mine, said on seeing the no firearms while hawking clause in the old falconry regs that he would fight any law that forbade firearms for any reason. In other words he would fight against falconry in general because it favored a no shooting stance. Now in Idaho there is no mention, so far, of firearms in the new falconry law, some want it however or at least used to.
