im for it, i think if u shoot a nice deer with a bow, no matter what the let-off, u should b recognized. it is so hard 2 do it in the first place b/c the deer has 2 b so close, it shouldnt matter how much let-off u have. if u shoot one with a bow u have already defied the odds. jmo tho

wut does every1 else have 2 say

Should have been done a long time ago, now they need to lose the *.

My opinion is I dont really care. Doesnt matter to me as any animal I take with my bow is a trophy. Im happy for those who wish to enter "the book" but im not really to worried about getting in there.

ditto mdbohunter

I like the new rules, but I dought I will ever get into the book. But at least I am able to now.

I'm glad they changed it so the big deer that have been killed with higher letoffs can now be recognized......

When i got my bow I had the moduals changed out to meet the 65% that P/Y required, then I found out that if you shoot a bow greater than the 65% requirements is if you don't pull back all the way you meet these perameters, seems like they got loop holes in every thing. To answer your question is NO, I do not like it, but I am not the one who draws the line, maybe they should have a recurve, compound or even a crossbow catagory. I personally strieve to hunt trophies and I have my equipment set up so that I can qualify when I get the state record and by the way I saw him year before last. Bobby

If you look at the stand point from a long bow to a recurve bow and then a compound w/65%-verses 85%, I don't see what all the beef was about in the first place. It's about time!

I didn't care before.... I don't care now.[:-]
