[QUOTE="gil1, post: 3296578, member: 4144"] I agree with some of your opinions but not others. You said they changed their celebration from the animal to the hunter, but they haven't. They always listed the hunter's name. I think you can still put the hunter's name and celebrate the animal. Like you said, nobody would sign up otherwise. John, what I failed to mention before is that they also celebrate bowhunting. They have to preserve order as to what constitutes a bow while also changing with the times. Those two philosophies are hard to mix. I think the let-off deal was a mistake, but hypocrisy is a strong word, and you haven't proven tome that there is one iota of it here. I know it's a stretch of an analogy, but it's sort of like moving the three point line a few feet in and awarding 2 1/2 points. The new bows with higher let-offs make it a little easier to shoot, so I assume they didn't want to give full credit to those who had an easier route. One of the problems is that that will never stop. Technology will always come up with a better hunting weapon. I'd call it extremely awkward and even a mistake, but hypocrisy doesn't fit in my book. As far as tough to move up until someone dies, I'll take your word on that. I have no idea. I like the background, though. I admit I don't have your knowledge of the history. I'm just interpreting what I see in the present. [/QUOTE]
