If Al Gore can win a Peace prize, why not!HeHeHe

Don't realy care. I know guys who use them and for years they've just been trying to keep up with me. Love it if they'd get a record book deer and stop trying to know what I'm doing all the time.[8D]lol
I'll even

Does P&Y break down game shot withcompounds from traditional gear and shot withprimitive arms VS todays tack shooting 200 yard muzzleloaders with glass.
I really don't know? I'm personally not bothered either way as I have never measured a deer and am not counting on scoring a P&Y buck anytime soon anyway. LOL

I think there should be a Compound section of pope and young, and a Crossbow section also... We both get the same credit but just in different categories

I could care less about the books but since they are there there should be a seperate one for crossbows IMO.
My thoughts exactly!

Nope! They can start a William Tell Records Book.

I dont think thatp&yshould consider looking thru glass and pulling a trigger archery unless of course you are handicapped. BTW, Ga. has legalized crossbows for archery season. I'm not sure about other states.

imho cross guns should not be in the pope and young books... they should have a book of their own....
Ditto.

I believe Pope & Young members should only be voting on this.
