The Pope & Young club was formed to improve the image of bow hunting, not crossbow hunting. I'm all for the use of crossbows during archery season, but in reality they are two different type of weapons, and always will be in the eyes of the P&Y club. I think with the popularity of hunting with a crossbow increases you will see some type of an organization formed for game taken with crossbows.

Those that crave to see their name in a record book, there's always the Boone & Crockett club. You will have to set your standards a little higher . They allow any animal killed with any legal weapon if it meets the required standards.
