Lowering the draw weight
The purpose of the LSBA is to promote and preserve bowhunting in Texas. We feel that more women and children would be able to bowhunt if the minimum draw weight was lowered. Our research shows that many other states have a lower minimum draw weight than Texas or no minimum at all.
Some LSBA members are opposed to lowering the draw weight and some of our members want to eliminate any minimum. Many members would not be opposed to lowering the minimum draw weight as long as game animals could be harvested in a quick and humane manner.
TPWD prides itself on making wildlife and habitat decisions based on science. We ask them to make this decision based on science too.
Here's the operative sentence in the letter we sent TPWD back in June.
"If Texas Parks and Wildlife determines that the draw weight requirement could be lowered without a negative impact on wildlife resources, the LSBA would not oppose such an action."
Bob Wright
LSBA President
Bob, is this a letter sent to the TPWD or was this stating the stance of the LSBA on the issue to TBH?
