One more reason to get Rob McKenna in office rather than another liberal in Jay Inslee.

You are aware Mr. McKenna is a hard core Traditional Archery guy, right?

 Thats not what he says during dinner conversations. ;)

The NRA gave Jay Inslee an F rating.

 Ya think? :chuckle:

Do you know Rob well? Do you know if we can depend on him to support hunting?

I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.

 I can't speak for him, I am only a finacial contributor. That being said, I am not supporting Inslee financially. ;)

Umm? Illuminocks? How do Rob and Jay feel about the issue? Maybe we should run it by Romney and Obama? What happen to the strong opinions on the issue? Just want to make sure that we all agree that next year we will go united to the commission and get this issue done with so we can move on to getting a better shake for archers? Or, do we squabble with the 15% and let them decide how archery rules and regs will be shaped for all of us? Just askin?

I've met "Rob" a few times. Like Dino, he is a.very down to earth, hard working family man. i doubt he'd have a wolf in the crosshairs on the first  cover of the hunting regs he'd publish but in time Im optimistic that conditions would improve.

Guys like Dino and McGavick have a tough time being elected in a *censored* state like WA and I am similarly afraid for McKenna. Only an absolute tool would call these candidates unqualified. When I realized that this described a plurality of WA voters, it went into the decision process that led to my emigration from WA a few years ago. Wish I'd have left sooner.

Good luck this November. Oh yeah, SHE's still my governor  :IBCOOL:

 At least we have one thing we can agree to unite on. ;)

WDFW and the commission have NEVER given archery hunters an ultimatum that they draw a line on electronics or lose days in the field, just more scare tactics by those against luminoks.

No they haven't and they probably never will.  But once you cross the line there is no going back and if it does come up then there is only one way to deal with it.....reduce time.

phool how many times do I have to stress that I have absolutely nothing against luminocks.  I say keep electronics of any kind off of archery equipment in the hunting woods.  I own more state of the art archery equipment than 99% of folks on this thread, hell than most archery shops, so you cannot say that I am against technology in archery.  A lighted nock is not going to help anyone hunting.

I don't hang out on the ML thread but they can't even have a fiber optic sight are they crying as loud???? I don't think so.

I'm not completely sure where you get your information but here's the direct quote from the regs under Muzzleloader Regulations. Fiber optic sights are legal for muzzleloaders. That may be why they aren't crying  :twocents:

b.   Sights must be open, peep, or of other
open sight design. Fiber optic sights
are legal.

That's just it, it doesn't. The issue of electronics is a fine line, I get it. The reg would have read, No electronics except luminocks. I'm not in favor of outfitting archery gear with every new piece of technology or electronic out there. But is there another that could be added that doesn't help anyone hunting? If it doesn't affect success rate than the claim that somehow it will result in a lose of opportunity is a smoke screen. If you don't want to use them than don't! Why are some of you so insistant that you should be able to tell everyone else what to do just because you don't like it? It doesn't change anything about your opportunity, if it did this issue would be 98% the other direction.

Just throwing something else out there, with no electronics allowed you cant even have a camera mounted on your bow, and the for sure doesnt help a person with the actual hunting and shooting of a animal!!

Machias, that is true, however just like luminok there are alternatives. There is the video camera that is mounted in glass frames, and also clip to a hat bill or the front of a hat... they work real well.
