Good to see you back Rob !!

9b is a bit of a shock though. Well maybe not with posting on the main forum the last week.I suppose if we are going to be fair then baiting/feeding is out also since some states don't allow it??Heck the majority of hunters in the contest don't use guides... let's boot that one out also.

Bottom line...you will not make a contestfair for everyonewithout making it a nightmare forthe majority.You can make tons of rules trying to stop a few cheaters but is it worth it when you punish a lot more honest hunters who do take pride in doing it right??The cheatersstillwillcheat anyways. The contest workedvery smoothly for the most partwith the original rules for years now. Granted a large part was due to your hard work at keeping it organized. We do appreciate that very much !!

Justin said this was your show.If you feel 9b is needed to run it properly then so be it. I've enjoyed the contest very much. I do the bulk of my bowhunting after our " rifle "season. I won't change my hunting for any contest. I have my principles of what hunting is to me and I don't bend for no one. This contest is for fun but...in fairness to future team mates, 9b would end it for me. They deserve a bowhunter only then.
