Could something that looks good for the average rifle guy turn around and bite him ! or will Srd not follow suit?

The numbers are a bit skewed in the fact that there is a fairly large number of hunters using both rifle and bow so you can't really count only rifle hunters and only bow hunters.

It does skew the numbers in one fashion though....total number of guys who bowhunt.

You hope they would follow suit !
