RE: Rumors of Let-off % being revisted by P&Y
My question then is at what letoff do you feel is acceptable for P&Y....it took years, sweat and tears to get the rule revised from 50% to 65%.....seems the only people belly aching to change the rules are those who didn' t take into consideration the private club rules and bought 70% letoff bows and higher. Then, when shooting a P&Y qualifying buck......complained it didn' t count. The thing we have to remember is that P&Y is a private organization.
SO, back to the original questions....if you feel it should remain at 70%, then what about those who will complain it' s not 75%....and then what about those bow owners shooting 80%, and what about when bows reach 90%, or do we only care if our bows qualify and the hell with the next guy, then at that point, hell you might as well be shooting a crossbow and that opens up a whole nother can of worms.....!????????????
I chose to shoot a 65% letoff bow because I considered the P&Y club rules when choosing a bow because if I am fortune enough to take a animal that qualifies...I feel I owe it to the animal to enter it and honor it. To me it' s not about he hunter lucky enough to take the animal, it' s all about honoring the animal who earned his way in and offered his life to me. If you care about the book, obide by the private rules it set forth, if you don' t care about the book....
What about electronic devices attached to the bow and all the other non qualifying accessories one chooses to use...the line has to be drawn in the sand, currently it' s the letoff.....choose to follow the rules, or accept the consequences.
