Id like to hear the reasoning from the 10% who say no..Why??

I'm not surprised at the poll results, but am at how quickly WDFW seems to embrace them.

 It will be interesting to see if they listen to the overwhelming majority or ignore them.

If only 10% said no, who really cares? It's a tiny minority, and they don't have to use them if they do get legalized.

There is only about 20+ post on just that subject.

That is 10% of 3800 folks in this survey.  There is widespread support for them, but trust me it is no where near 80+%.  It's probably closer to 58% in favor to 42% opposed.  That's just a general guess.

 Just curious if you have inside information on the poll results Fred, I missed the astrisk saying "poll results are +/- 30%".

So assuming there is a combination of the 24,000 deer and 22,000 elk hunters that would mean approximately 10-12% of the archery hunters responded to the survey and 10% of those were not in favor of them, translation 10% of the 10% don't want lighted nocks, definately a small sample.  I would be curious to know how many of the 24,000 deer and 22,000 elk archers actually got the survey, I am sure that the WDFW does not have email addresses for all of the archers.  I think they only have email addresses for 25% of all of the register hunters in Washington total.

More then likely the 10% that opposed it are all the traditional archers.  They always oppose anything to do with archery hunting that is new.

Well that is not even close to being accurate.

The traditional archers oppose anything that doesn't involve shooting with fingers and using long or recurve bows.
