SCI... Just sayin.
P&Y
No sight lights
No lighted nocks
No broadheads under 70 grains
No total arrow weight under 300 grains
No arrows shorter than 20"
If you are over 65% let off you get an * by your name
Then there is the fact that i had a P&Y Official tell me while I was a member that and I quote "Killing a deer with a compound shouldnt even be considered an accomplishment".
They can have there club. Record Books are not why I hunt anyway. And yes i have some deer that will make their minimum and past their stupid little rules. I chose not to enter them.Last edited by JW; 08-07-2012, 06:17 AM.

If you were to tell the truth, the animal would be disqualified.
Integrity is the issue here, even if some scorers simply refuse to interrogate the hunter on his submission to the club.
Not that I ever personally cared about any " club "
The one deer I have ever killed that would qualify to the minimums ( as I understand them) was the first animal I ever killed with my recurve bow.
And with rules like this one as well as deductions in scoring are all reasons why this club and the other big club will never be a true representation of the real animals killed

For those that disagree with these standards, there are other clubs with different, more lax standards.

What happens if your hunting alone and you do not have any wittness and you lay the smack down on a 130" buck? Do you have to have a wittness? So on any hunting show, were there using a lighted nock and shoot a booner, they sometimes show at the end of the recovery of the deer the score. I have seen them say boone and crockett 170". Is that just after they score it and they just say it is a boone and crockett or pope & young?Last edited by wlfhound27; 08-07-2012, 06:46 AM.

the idea behind registering an animal in the p&y registry is to get recognition for killing a special animal following the rules laid down by the powers that be at p&y. they have made the recent concession to technology by including the asterisk. it is refreshing to see a club that hasn't acquiesced to the pc standards several seem to call for and hold to their beliefs. if cheating and lying to get your trophy recognized as recommended earlier is necessary, why do it at all?

How does a "lighted nock" improve your chances? why would this be considered "against" old school when to me it fits in the "creative" category.
all it does is help the hunter follow the arrow, after the shot (mainly for film in my book). it's not like it's a tracer round helping the next arrow find the spot......

I look at it like corking a bat, or shaving a carbon bat, or any other equipment rule for a fishing tournament. To keep all levels of competition equal some have to be limited.

It is the last part of legal shooting light and a deer that would easily make book comes out between us. I have no light on my sight, but you do. You will have the ability to see your pin and shoot the animal, where as I would not.
