How is it killing the sport?With all the advancements in Archery do you not think that it is time to be regulated to put an end to technology killing the sport?
Why not have a 300fps across the board for primitive archery season. Yes I have heard the old argument of we owe it to the animal to shoot the fastest and bestest but at what cost? It is a PRIMITIVE sport and if we do not do something we will loose it.
It is killing the sport by making archery equipment so NOT archery equipment anymore. How does what we have fit into a primitive sport that started with stick and string. All the technology is driving us away from true archery towards the gun season. Same as verticals the technology is making it easier and less like archery.How is it killing the sport?

I agree, I could not eat the buck I shot this year because someone in archery season tried for the shot of a lifetime and ran out of skill.We owe the game we go after the respect of as swift a death as we can make happen
The more advanced, the more powerful a weapon is for hunting and the more trained a hunter is is not detrimental to the sport or the animal
Companies that forget their responsibility and pay for false advertising and Hunters that are not trained is not only disrespectful to mankind its disrespectful to the game God put us over to watch, use for food and take care of
This may be true but were do we draw the line? Most of the new technology has nothing to do with humane killing of game! Archery is supposed to be up close as a sport. Most archery kill shots are 30 yards or less. A scope that has a view out to 200 yards, bows shooting 500fps, 5” broadheads, etc.... The same thing can be done with the average crossbow without all of this so called innovation! A dead deer is a dead deer no matter how it was killed. All this innovation is nothing more than a way to line the pockets of the inventors and manufacturers! Archery hunting has changed and is changing faster than the actual sport! There lies the problem.We owe the game we go after the respect of as swift a death as we can make happen

That will stink for hunters with poor eyesight. Will they outlaw binoculars too? They don’t fit with the primitive mindset? I think if they are going to do it, they need to go big or go home. You have to live in a buffalo hide period correct tent, and you are only allowed to bath in a stream and wipe your butt with pine cones for the whole archery season. You can only eat food that you foraged for in the wild for the season. You can only shoot a bow and arrow that you manufactured yourself. Binoculars, rangefinders, and and modern clothing are strictly prohibited. Actually, the first day you arrive in the woods with nothing but a loincloth, and you need fashion everything you need there including the buffalo hide teepee. Yes, I am being over the top. Now, back to reality. You would still need a State Approved chronograph. The other issue is most red dots on the market have a little magnification due the way the glass was cut. I have a Cmore rts2 that looks to be 1.5x. If they enforce this too the letter of the law, most will be in violation. I think the ultimate goal in Pa is to kill more deer. I hope my state doesn’t go down this rabbit hole. Rant over, back to work.Hold at a threshold of 450FPS with a 400 grain arrow and 1x magnification. We just saw something like that in BC and know it exists in some states already. It will come even though I don’t like more regs. Technology in muzzleloading has grown even more so what will they do there?
