Down goes illuminated nocks!

[buckfvr]

From what Ive heard from those in the know, compounds will be modern, trad gear and recurves will get their own season.....if the envelope keeps getting pushed. Its a very real possibility.

but if they add confidence for some

   

I'm still trying to figure out why Phool wants them so bad.  I know he doesn't need them.  I am starting to think he owns stock in the company, or has a wager with someone about them.   

LOL,  I'm just sick and tired of over regulation in this country. If someone wants to use them, and they provide no discernible advantage to the hunter before the shot, then it should be up to the individual to make that choice.

I hope you guys get them approved this year so we can stop having these discussions.

Think about getting lighted nocks and that being what it takes to give traditional archers their own season....as in splitting current dates for archery ( modern ), into two seasons.  If you put your ear to the ground TF, thats what the talk has been for several years.....its a change in how they look at modern archery tackle and its being categorized as primative.  Trad gear will .get their own primative season, and modern archers will loose up to half their season to accommodate a new trad season.

DOes that illuminate things for you

This same scenario could be said for modern firearm hunters. How about we split up the season for those that choose to use a lever action, open sights, vs. those that want to use a more modern style rifle with a powerful scope. We could play this game all day. I don't know for sure if I want to use them as that would require me to possibly have to adjust and re-tune my bow. But if I decided to I still have not heard a good reason against them yet.

Well, thats pretty weak......modern firearms isnt relevent in this discussion.......

Nah you won't have to retune nothing.  When I stuck them in in Minnesota last year my pattern didn't change at all.  Pins stayed right where I had them with out them.

Those that want them are are getting close to if not already in the majority. And they will get approved at some point. That is a fact. I still don't see what is wrong with them.

Maybe not but its the same pipe dream.

That's good to know. I figured the little extra weight in the back could throw it off a bit.

I thought it was a done deal last year, at least that's what everyone kept saying.

huntnphool, is there anything in archery equipment you can't support?  If so why?  What if someone else wants it?  Where does it end?

TF, Sorry bud I thought you were asking why we didn't want to support them.  I didn't say anything about your post count or your years in archery.   Yes I have my idea of what is right and what is wrong, sorry that happens to you when you're old and cranky.   

So you guys would be for doing away with all equipment regulations, correct?

I do not support laser sights, scopes, bow mounted range finders but would support a camera that had no viewfinder for the archer.

So why should those not be allowed?  Because you have drawn a line in your mind.  So have people in opposition of lighted nocks, but the lines just don't match up.

Where do you stop?  Expanding broadheads, laser rangefinder on bow, overdraws, etc...?

Nope...I have to tell you that they are pretty helpfull when using them even in practice.  Seeing the illumated knock and how it flies after you shot I think helped inprove my form too when I was practicing with them.  The other nice thing was when my aunt got her 8 pointer it was a pass through.  She took her arrown and stuck in in the ground where the first blood was.  When your tracking at night that is pretty helpfull.

More BS scare tactics, again WDFW has never said that. The same scenario could be made for firearms without scopes, should 30-30 lever action guys have their own season?  it won't happen.

i didn't say they shouldn't be allowed did I, I said I would not support it.
