Man, I love that 5.7! He wasn't caught with it, it'll be pretty easy to drop charges or plea it to a lesser charge or fine. $ talks. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Take a traditional shooter that has always anchored his hand on a certain feature on his face. He uses his figures, and doesn't use a release. He's done this for as long as he can remember, and shoots excellent. His DL is 29" Now enters the compound bow, with a D-loop and release aide. Unfortunately for him, he purchased one that isn't adjustable. He'd like to keep his age old anchor point, After all, that's where he feels most confident. But there's a problem, his new accessories have now shortened his .... Wait for it.... Draw length! I'm not stating that I agree with this(this ones for you WNYBH) but I'm trying to show how some things work for some people, regardless if it doesn't seem "proper". As a matter of fact, I haven't stated my stance on the matter, just that my opinion is that hunters can't see past their own perspective most of the time. Ironically, Belo gets it. Big shocker for sure. Must be a full moon or something. Carry on. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Hmm, that's interesting. You stated I was wrong, before Moog and I went into a discussion. How odd. Nice dodge though. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

So where am I wrong and what is my opinion on the matter? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Well, I hope you didn't take offense to my comment, but that's my opinion on the matter. I can see Doc's point of view as with yours as well, but both claim to be right, and the other as wrong. I just view them both as right, because there is no wrong, just preference. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Read up the Safe Act. New law that's not fully enacted yet. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

It would seem that some like to use the arrow and string to anchor, and others use their hands. One wouldn't change the DL while it would change the location of the draw hand/arm when anchored, and the other would change the DL while never affecting the draw arm's position because that's the basis of that shooter's anchor point. What I am seeing is two sides that can't seem to understand one another, and sadly, it's no surprise. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

In his example, his anchor point never moved. Hence, what changed was the DL. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Congrats on the new bow Stan! X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

But there do exist those that are gifted, or has the time to practice shots at these distances. Grouping all hunters in the same category as as some has clearly done is what I don't agree with. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Knowing your limits and acting on those limits is what separates you from the reckless and unethical hunters out there. We even have a few resident idiots that make these very same poor decisions. I don't want to open any old scabs, as there will surely be kicking and crying. Instead of putting legal limits on range, perhaps the discouragement of poor choices by "veteran" hunters should take priority. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Hi master-baiter. Your post shows your level of comprehension, and childish discussion practices. The end. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

You're just where you usually would be, uninformed and making ASSumptions. Maybe you'll actually read the entire thread this one time? X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Some lakes just don't turn over I suppose. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Total opposite here in Westchester. Trout are all over the top once ice out and dig deeper for cooler waters during the late spring and summer months. Caught my 7lb laker 150' down that way. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

In THEORY, since I haven't shot those distances, should be MODeer at 75. 100 is a different story, I'll need to count my Mississippi's. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

3" at 50 yds is pretty impressive. But nothing wrong with 5" either. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Doc, a forum is generally a collection of individuals that have something in common. In the example here, it's hunting. But like in ANY forum where there are INDIVIDUALS, there will be differing opinions and experiences. To say that the majority of such an opinion is the right one, well, that's just silly. But time and again, we've seen on THIS forum that those in the minority generally gets belittled and name called. It's common practice HERE. IMO Biz didn't do any injustice to the sport of bow hunting. Conversely, putting "limits" on bow hunters is what is unjust. You folks that are against long bow shots are only one step away from being OK with a law passed that bow hunters cannot take shots in excess of 50 yards. Some of you may already agree with just a law, if it existed! Where does it end? 40 yards? maybe 30? So who wants to write a letter to Cuomo asking him to propose such a law? After all, that'll probably make most of you happy, right? For the record, I've never shot 75 yards and I don't intend to at live game until I do so on paper. And even then, I'll think three times before drawing on a live target at those distances, especially in NY's woods. But in a wide open field? It sure opens up the opportunities. And finally, for new hunters and to-be hunters reading this, this is what I recommend. For every shot at live game you take at a certain distance, you should have shot 200+ shots on paper at those distances. This goes for gun, and bow. Want to shoot further? Hit the range and throw down another 200+ for that distance. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems

Typical hunter vs hunter thread. Some hunters are not willing or capable of accepting that there are others that are capable and put in the time to hit their marks out further than they can. These hunters think that because they can't, automatically means that others shouldn't. This thread really took a wild turn when numbers are brought in about experience. How about track record? So far, I'm 100% recovery. Probably not many on here can say the same. Until then, I'll be pushing my limits slowly, and safely until I find where my limits are.
