I'm indifferent on the subject. I know a few people who draw 60 pounds that wound deer because they don't practice and follow a poke and hope mentality. I'd rather one person shoot a deer with a 30 pound bow that has a sharp head on a tuned arrow into the "pie plate", than a dozen shooting 70# with factory heads into "a deer".

Well, we can't make people practice or sharpen their broadheads. We can't make them match their arrow to their bow. I think this is more critical than dropping 10# of draw weight. But, to shoot a 30# bow with a poke and hope mentality is worse.

That's how I see it. But, if one wants to spend half their night tracking a deer or hog that may or may not be down, more power to them. Even the best of us do that from time to time. I can only affect what I'm capable of and hope Providence smiles on me when I release the string.

I'll support whatever stance the LSBA decides to take on the issue. Its a slippery slope for sure.
