A top of the line ready to hunt Excalibur or Ten Point crossbow can be found for less than a BARE Matthews or Bowtech bow.
This is before you add a couple hundred dollars of accessories and arrows and you are ready with your compound bow.
Who cares if the club is financially viable for decades if 60% of archery deer killed deer are deemed 'ineligible' for entry?
Is it enough to be a financially stable organization if your club rules are outdated and irrelevant in most bow hunters eyes?

The P&Y Club has a trust fund that will keep the club financially viable for several decades...if not longer. .

First, my "money" comment had absolutely nothing to do with the comparative price of hunting equipment. It had to do with the driving force behind crossbow liberalization...manufacturers and game agencies looking for a new revenue source.
Second, crossbows are not archery. Crossbow hunters are not archers. You can't even hunt in Indiana with a crossbow on an archery license. There are a lot more bucks killed with firearms and ML than archery equipment.. and P&Y does not allow those either.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
