I agree with Arthur for the most part. One thing though, if it comes down to doing away with a higher %let off rule........dividing into 3 classes.... traditional, compound and crossbow is not a bad idea.

My reasoning? To me, even though I shoot a 65% let off compound, any qualifying buck taken with traditional equipment is more impressive than a qualifying buck taken with a compound bow.

Furthermore, any qualifying buck taken with a compound is far more impressive than a qualifying buck taken by crossbow!

Why? Even though most shooting traditional equipment archers are excellent shots, there is a distinct advantage in most hunting situations with a compound bow, just as a crossbow shooter has a distinct advantage over both traditional and compound archers.

In regard to your subtle comment about Buckmasters Arthur, I know what you mean and agree with you!
