Somehow, we need to get somewhat organized and maintain some verbal pressure on the commissioners. If we sit back they will all assume that we accept the new rules and the problem will go away.

While FG sees no problem because that is the way Colorado has been during his lifetime, I do see a problem because I do not like the change that a small organized group of people were able to push through. The key word there is organized ML clubs.

A third option is to simply allow the in-line bolt hammer weapons while keeping all the other current restrictions
While this is not my most favorite option, it is better than the current rulings.

And a fourth option would be to eliminate all restrictions - for ease of enforcement.
And in fact I really do not like this option either - I would like to go somewhere down the middle, between the two options.

Gary Power said. But with the same powder, "the kind of hammer makes little difference in performance," he said. "That just makes it look old."
I really feel that comminssioner Power realy hit it correctly here.... traditional groups lobbied that the lock time was to fast on the falling bolt type hammer. I think TC has put a dent in that with there faster side hammer locks.

I sure hope that the commisioners will find a way to make contact with more hunters than just the organized ML people.
