Bowhunters unite to abolish 40 lb draw weight

[tinman]

Tink...on a side note, you've got some awesome B&W pics of you and your son posted here, I really like them.

Would you start another thread with some of these and your other old school pics...I bet you've got some good ones that we haven't seen yet.

Now, carry on...

thats what i was saying tink. you are totally right on this. no doubt from experience which i beleie some others need to take a seat on here and listen to you. i do agree that if the child has the skill then he should be able to hunt with a bow. but like i said not everyone will be happy when this is all said and done. it may pass it may not? i guess we will see. my stepmom is wanting to bowhunt. she cannot pull 40lbs but she is going to work at it until she can. now whether or not she will be ready to use it effectively? im not sure but she will have to prove her self. she knows if she cannot make a good shot then dont shoot.

I agree with Tink!!! 100% People make bad shot with a gun much less with a bow. A gun is more powerful and we have fools out there hunt and kill people wiht them lowering the poundage by 10 pounds will not mean more wounded deer. Just like anything eles education is the key to all hunting whether be gun are bow we are the hunters and we need to educate our young in the right ways to hunt and by the law if the law is wrong we the peolpe need to change it. My 2 cents

Thanks Gentleman


Don't you agree that in the case of youth they will in time get stronger


in the case of older folks, in time, we will get weaker?


So we should quit bowhunting?

NOT

Over the last 20,0000 year hunters have always sought to use the finest most efficient most powerful equipment they can find to hunt and kill enemy with.

One exception is Traditional archers who handicap themselves to Long & recurve bows to maximize the hunt and make getting a kill more difficult.

but only a handful use wooden self flat bows and wooden arrows and Hand stripped turkey feathers, flit heads etc. A mere handful.

We face a challenge today of loosing our youths to malls, drug, booze, i pod, PC, Puter games, car gangs, etc.

Its getting hard to get some kids into the field after 13 or 14 they want to hang out with their "friends and assorted hoodlum and drug pushers," etc

Both my kids were hooked on drug and it was a battle to get them afield away from that stuff.

Ted Nugent helped me & my wife to get my kids off drugs and for that I am forever grateful.

The Texas 40# weight limit for deer & turkey is a joke.

Ltes dump it. The Governor want it gone so doesPeter Holt Exec Director of the TP&W Commission

lets Do it

Tink

First off, it was NOT a "bad" regulation. If having a 40# minimum is bad, then not having a minimum at all is IRRESPONSIBLE.

Shoot, now its legal to take a plastic matel suction cup bow, pull the cups off and put a 7/8" bh on the front and you're legal!!!

I see very little good coming of this!

[Red Dot]

Tink, didn't you tell me you loaned a compound bow to someone who was a recurve shooter??? He took the compound to Africa and killed some trophy game?
