Founded in 1961 as a nonprofit scientific organization..............The Club advocates and encourages responsible bowhunting by promoting quality, fair chase hunting, and sound conservation practices. Today it fosters and nourishes bowhunting excellence and acts in the best interest of our bowhunting heritage everywhere. The Club promotes and participates in improving sound wildlife conservation and wise use of our natural resources.
Through its Records Program, the Club encourages quality bowhunting by awakening interest in outstanding examples of this continent's big game animals. The Club records for posterity scientific data on North American big game taken with bow and arrow. It conducts ongoing recording periods and every two years presents appropriate recognition to the finest specimens submitted. These biennial presentations honor the quality of individual examples of North American big game species and promote the ideals of fair chase.
You know that if they were truely for the promotion of the bow hunting sport and for "scintifically" honoring the animals taken then the 65% let off rule was bogus in the first place.
Had the club been formed in 1990 instead of 1961 then there would have been no problem with high let off bows. The only reason that rule existed in the first place was because 65% was the let off of bows at that time. Then you have a bunch of old farts that feel they're skills with their 65% bows are somehow superior to the rest of us and feel the need to not keep promoting the bowhunting sport and only promote what they feel is apropriate.
