He e<.:boes some thoughts I have had for a number of years regarJ ing the effective limitations of bows and the moral ohligation howhunters have to both quarry and public. Nothing is more pathetic than happening upon the spoiled carcass of an animal in the wooJs that had been wounded and lost. Personally, the feel ing is compounded when the animal is a bow kill. I join with Mr. Kittredge in hoping that more bowhunters will work for the closer shot or not shoot at all. Dennis Lattery, Anchorage, Alaska MINIMUM DRAW A note to explain the reason for the forty-pound minimum draw weight in the State of Washington: It is felt that a forty-pound how, with properly Only matc11ed arrows and razor-sharp broad heads that can he handled properly and efficiently, is a better combination $29.95 that fifty pounds and "struggle." Also, it permits women to enjoy bowhunt ing, which otherwise could be impos sible. I was fortunate enough to wit ness a kill of a bull elk in Colora<lo, with a forty-pound how in the hands of a Pennsylvania archer. The elk traveled only ahout thirty-five yards before 1;ollapsing. Pounds nf pull .will never replace a goo<.I stalk, a well place<.! arrow, with razor-sharp hroadheads, followed hy good tracking.
