bogsucker, what type of stuff do they display? I may have to check it out next time I'm down to Rochester visiting my sister.

From their HSOforum:

"The Pope and Young Club / St. Charles Museum of Bowhunting has a mission to increase the awareness and appreciation of North America's bowhunting heritage and history. The Museum features a maze of exhibits showing the evolution and resurgence of bowhunting over the last century. It is highlighted by five dioramas depicts scenes with Ishi, Saxton Pope, Arthur Young, Fred Bear and Glenn St. Charles. The museum also includes the largest and most complete broadhead collection available for public viewing anywhere, over 550 longbows and recurves, representative examples of North American big game species, and much more."

Speaking of P&Y, does anyone here have one in the book?
I have one, my offical score was 141 5/8 typical. The total score was 148 5/8 but going typical it was the 141 5/8.(deducted 7" because it was a 5 by 4)

After missing the big brother of the 8 pointer I let pass opening morning I thought I better stop by the new museum for some inspiration.

They have a very nice display of dioramas such as this one depicting the pioneers(Pope, Young, Hill, Bear, St. Charles) of modern archery and bowhunting. They also have an incredible collection of traditional archery equipment. If you are ever in the area make sure to visit the museum!!!

There is no longer a maximum let-off. However bowkills submitted for the book that were shot with high let-off bows will be noted as such.

Is there a maximum let-off that they allow to qualify for the book? Seems like all the bows they sell these days have up to 75% let off which I think would be too much. Does that mean if you shoot a monster with one of these bows you cannot submit for P&Y?
