Arthur,

It's not a question of who's right or who's wrong. It's a question of determining what's acceptable. And i agree that you should prepair for the worst. The best thing any of us could do is talk our fellow shooters into shooting more than just the week before the season starts or even not shooting at all until they shoot at an animal.

Straight,

I agree there are way too many variables. 35 lbs is very light in my book. I thought most states used 45 lbs. AndI did agree that when you are shooting equipment that is that light is draw weight the heavier arrow could benefit the hunter. To me you would need some sort of sliding scale. Then you remove using a set weight for everyone.

Of course, I also believe they should make every hunter pass a shooting test before getting their license. And I'm sure I'll get grilled for saying that. i think too many people think shooting a bow is like shooting a gun. just aim at it and you will hit and kill it.
