You can' t use a " corked bat" or illegal drivers because it gives an undeniable UNfair advantage.
I knew the rule before I bought MY bow...and I bought MY bow be cause I LIKED it. The LAST thing on MY mind when dropping $500+ for a new bow is " will it meet P&Y rules?"
How the H#LL does letting in 80% let off LOWER the prestige. Are the ANIMALS somehow smaller? Was there less scouting? was the 80% let off bow MORE accurate?!?!?!? With 80% let off can you shoot a buck in the foot and have it drop over dead? Or does it leave a glow in the dark blood trail?
Of course not. " Relaxing" the EQUIPMENT standard doesn' t change the HUNT or the ANIMAL.
Obviously, you HATE 80% let off bows for SOME unknown reason. What it is I have no idea. Maybe you just want technology to stop, I don' t know.
What I DO know is that no matter the bow (Fred Bear took Tiger at 90 yards without ANY let off) you still need to be in range, and hit the animal with a lethal shot. And even an 90% let off bow must be held back until you release the arrow for it to work (i.e. not a draw lock or crossbow).
P&Y thanx for what you have done for the sport...but take your rules and shove ' em...I' ll post MINE in Buckmasters I guess
