RE: Rumors of Let-off % being revisted by P&Y
Arthur, I agree, a line needs to be drawn somewhere, but where is the question. Sure, a drawlock and crossbow should not be allowed. You must have to actually draw the bow. There' s no comparison b/t those two and an 80% letoff bow.
For some reason they think that with higher letoff bows you can hold the bow at full draw for long periods of time while waiting on the game to offer you a perfect shot. I know with my 75% bow I can' t pull it back and wait five minutes for the buck to get within range and offer a great shot. I' ve had many 65% and 80% let off bows, and its really not that big of a difference.
By the way, when I said I could care less about P&Y, I meant this rule. Obviously I do appreciate and acknowledge the work they' ve done for bow hunting. However, when I' m trying out different bows, the last thing that enters my mind is whether or not it is P&Y legal, I' m going for the best fit. The rule will change, it' s all about the bottom line.
