Could the bracers give the wielder of a crossbow a competence bonus to attack and damage? the bracers specifically say they don't give proficiency to any crossbow ( i see the reasoning behind that as more of a case that every class already is proficient in the crossbow ), but the competence and damage bonus is given for any bow.

"The bracers empower the wearer to use any bow (not including crossbows) as if she were proficient in its use. If she already has proficiency with any type of bow, she gains a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls and a +1 competence bonus on damage rolls whenever using that type of bow."

I know its nit-picky. but crossbows are a type of archery too!
why be segregated against crossbows!

( i mainly just want to know a consistent ruling for organized play, since my character that i want to purchase these, is in PFS )


That's a good question for the PRPG forums. In fact, I'll move this thread over there for you. :-)
