Because under that idea...anyone who hunts with a 40# or 45# bow shouldnt hunt. Even recurve traditional guys/gals would fall under that. The bow my son is now shooting was passed down to him by my stepmother...she has multiple kills with it at 42# draw weight. She kept her shots 20 yards and closer and thats what he is practicing at. I didnt expect alot of people to agree with me actually. I just merely wondered why it was different ages in different states.
