Default RE: Most influential person in archery today

Sure Atlas, although I don't want to get off on a tangent on Washington's thread. And for the record, I was just sharing my opinion on the Internet. It influences a lot of bowhunters in the way we hunt, sharing of information and again basis for many purchases that we make, it's just an opinion instead of pinpoint any specific individual.

For the record and again not to be confortational, I'm a supportor of the Pope and Young club. Since they recently went through some changes in leadership and I've had the pleasure of talking to Warren, I feel that the club's direction is to take a more active role in defending bowhunting to the anti-hunting contingent in our country as well as eduction of young people of the joy of the sport, along with their long history of conservation efforts. It's more than a record program and establishing restrictions to getting into the books, as many people may think. It's a small part of what they do. I personally feel that in the near future, we'll see them speaking out nationally against regulation and topics that would effect our way of life in a negative manner and again help promote the sport. Pope and Young is one of the most recognizable names in archery, whether you may agree with everything they do or not and I think it would be refreshing to see them be a little more active with topics that we as the true bowhunting community feel are important. And to me, it nice to see individuals that truly stand for the sport in a position to influence the direction. That's all I really meant. Only time will tell if they will. Thanks.
