Just in case anyone forgot.......all of the magazines published have advertisers. Would someone please tell me the magazine article that " says" 80% of the new bows sold are 80% letoff? In my locale that is NOT the case!!!!!! Far from it! Besides.....how many know that many if not most of the bows sold with high letoffs also include an easy way to change their letoff to 65% OR come with additional modules to change to 65%? Many archers that I know purchase a bow, then either change it or have their dealer do it for them in a press.
It is in the editorial section of the Oct/Nov issue of Bowhunter written by M.R. James. This is the parragraph.
As I see it, we must admit we made a mistake. Why? For years now, about 80% of compound bows sold have greater than 65% letoff. That means most bowhunters afield this fall will be toting bows that are P&Y " illegal," and none of the trophy animals they harvest will be eligible for the P&Y record book. In my opinion, something is wrong when our record system excludes entries by a majority of legally licensed bowhunters.
I will admit, I do not know anyone of your credintals but this guy has, amoung many other things, edited 3 editions of the P&Y record book and it' s director in 1988 when the rule was made 65%. I will take his word for it over some stranger on the net thankyou very much.
