Bottom line is if you can' t play by the rules then you don' t play, quite simple. These rules are put here for everyone, NO EXCEPTIONS.
T-fox, I never said that handicapp individuals shouldn' t be denied a P/Y. If they choose to hunt in a different catogory with a crossbow, then so be it, thats why they make Boone/Crockett, buckmasters, both of these have different critera for registering a trophy or deer.
Mathewsbow1, NOPE, you cannot get grandfathered in, nice try though, if you shoot a 70%, the secret is to not pull back on your arrow to full draw and you should fit within these guidelines.
Since I am a trophy white-tail hunter, I made sure my bow and equipement are state and P/Y legal. I am not about to lose out on a technicality if the state record comes by.
