ORIGINAL: bowtruck

i would think the ar spread would be hard what would you go by inches or outside of ears
people would complain that they cant judge the width heck most complain its to hard to count them now
but i think it would get rid of some inferior buck
No method of AR will ever be perfect but research (Dr Kroll and others) has shown that a spread restriction is better at getting bucks to 2.5 than a point count.

Again, no AR is perfect but a spread that gets outside the ears is generally 16" or so and would be workable. I'm not necessarily advocating the change tomorrow but it has been shown to work better and might be a goal to head for in the future.

Why would you want to set a new goal for the future when the current ARs produced lower breeding rates, lower productivity and lower harvests?

And you aren't smart enough to tell the difference.

I'm positive an atom smasher in yourhands is as safe as big buck in your back yard.

Well, so far it looks like about 3 to 1 in favor of AR's in some form.

Whats really interesting is that almost half of AR supporters would like to see them go a step further.

I'd imagine a spread restriction would be easier to determine than a point count.
