Belle Island, the guys trying to make it into a traditional vs modern debate are the ones that are wanting the rule changed and are trying to discredit the entire idea of keeping things as is.

OBVIOUSLY I agree that going from trad to a compound is a bigger step than going from a 65% letoff to an 80% letoff. How much bigger step will it be from an 80% letoff to a DrawLock? How much bigger step would it be from the DrawLock to the crossbow? How much bigger step would it be from the crossbow to one of those arrow firing rifles? From there to ???

It doesn' t take much imagination to see that all those little baby steps can walk us right out of an archery season.

About your 75% letoff bow... I' d bet most everyone can shoot a scoped .270 better than they can any bow, right? Since they shoot a rifle better, does that mean we should want P&Y to accept gun kills too?

Bowfanatic, thanks ever so much for you input. Have you got an intelligent response to it or were you content to try and top it?

Actually, I guess there is a third group that I should have mentioned that come to the forums and try to discredit the entire organization. Those that have a profit motive based on something that does meet P&Y' s rules. Canned hunts. Equipment that is disallowed. Stuff like that.
