Germ if a bow company came out with a compound that was 600fps and you could also use a draw lock on would you be for that as well?

No that is too fast and my BH would not fly
Plus it would be too noisy IMO
BTW I would not use an Xbow either. I find them too heavy and nosiy.

Everyone thinks those who want Xbow wants to use them. I have no desire to use one, I just do not want to deny anyone who wants to hunt. It's happing today, good hunters cannot hunt because of restrictions.

Ah, yes. Bowhunting is only for the young and able bodied. Let's see who we can eliminate...

Start off with those broken down old bastards. They've been hunting long enough and time for them to join the spit and whittle club, to spend their final days sitting on the bench in front of Floyd's barber shop.

Those soldiers who came home with serious wounds that now prevent them from shooting a regular bow. Too bad, but that's life and life ain't fair. But thanks for defending my right to prevent you from having a life now that you're home.

All those guys who fell out of treestands or had a car wreck and can't walk any more. Accident prone birks like that don't need to be out there anyway.

Anybody and everybody else who, for whatever reason, can't shoot a hunting-legal draw weight. Go hit the gym you pansies!

Yeah, that oughta clear the woods a little bit.

All hail the "All for one and more for me" crowd. [8D]

I know, Schultzy. Just I'd give you a jab in the ribs about it.

NHL, NBA, major league baseball? You're comparing professional sports with bowhunting, Jeff? I know there's a buttload of wannabe professional bowhunters but really.... [8D]

Arthur:

I petitioning MLB to throw underhanded so I can play and have a decent average.

If that goes over....I'm gonna petition the NBA to lower the rims to 8.5' and petition the NHL to play on dirt, since I skate so poorly.

You make valid points.
When one starts getting paid for bowhunting 5 million a year I could see your point. Hunting is for fun and not a job

Jeff if this ever comes up on a ballot in NC, please write ever congressmen using the above logic, it will be a slam dunk[8D]
