Abstract (Article Summary) The Pope and Young (P&Y) Club members gathered to discuss the rules of the club. ... THE CAMOUFLAGED FACE of contemporary bowhunting has undergone spectacular changes since the Pope and Young Club came into being on January 27, 1961. ... At the same time the Club promoted sound conservation practices, wildlife habitat preservation, and a selective, quality hunting experience. ... Another publicly announced but lesser known P&Y Club objective has been to establish, maintain, and enforce certain Fair Chase rules and regulations deemed "necessary or desirable. ... Not only are we hurting our Club financially and limiting what we can accomplish, our record book is incomplete and our credibility is suffering. ... And based on proceedings at the 2003 convention in Madison, Wisconsin, the compound letoff question remains quite alive - and appears to be splitting the P&Y Club smack down the middle. ... To me and many other people, the Pope and Young Club had branded many responsible, legal, and fair chase bowhunters as unethical simply because they shoot bows with more than 65-percent letoff. ...

Club founder Glenn St. ... * P&Y membership is now at an all-time high, and the Club is in sound financial shape. The most recent recording period had the second highest number of big game entries in Club history. ... Conversely, prochange speakers essentially stressed that the P&Y Club - like bowhunting itself - has changed dramatically over the past 40 years. ... The Club should be a true leader, setting a positive example for all legal bowhunters while educating the public that bowhunting - regardless of personal equipment choice - is truly hunting the hard way. ... * The P&Y Club is indeed a growing, financially healthy organization, yet it remains relatively small, and its revenues are minor compared to other prominent hunting organizations. |
