The Pistol Cartridge Rifle ProposalAs most of you are now well aware the Pistol Cartridge Rifle proposal will be decided at the NRC meeting on Monday, March 26 at 6 p.m. (Local Time) at the Garrison Conference Center at Fort Harrison State Park in Indianapolis. Time for emailing, phone calls and letters have been extended until and March 31. Ladies and gentlemen, It is CRUNCH TIME.I would like to ask each and everyone on here that has an interest in this proposal to contact the NRC with your input, feelings and data, even if you have already contacted them before. Comments can be e-mailed to either or both: jkane@nrc.in.gov - who gathers the input and catergorizes it. www.in.gov/nrc/contact/Please do your hunting civic duty and take a few minutes out of your time to make that email. Thanks, WW

I have sent my email of SUPPORT in to both parties.
Guys,
Let's get this one done.
If we don't speak up now and this goes under we will have no one to blame but ourselves.
GIT- R - DONE!!

...I would like to ask each and everyone on here that has an interest in this proposal to contact the NRC with your input, feelings and data, even if you have already contacted them before. FWIW - I'd stick with the DATA. There is going to be plenty of "feelings" from the other side, since that's all they have. Hold the high ground. Tell them that you support the DNR's authority to set the "safe terminal range" and "effective caliber/energy", but that once that has been set, the choice of gun should be up to the shooter. Ballistics is ballistics.

Yes sir reebob.
Do not let up with the prize in sight.
If this does not get passed and we had sat on our duffs we will have no one to blame but ourselves.
Contrary to what the anti-PCR "leadership" is saying this is NOT a done deal
That is a tactic to try and get you to relax and not give your input. In the meantime they are working like the devil to try and railroad this proposal - any way they can.
Get those cards, letters, phone calls and emails in.
Be at the meeting too, if you can make it.

Also please remember that the lighter recoiling guns will attract more hunters into the woods. This obviously includes some women, children, and men. We need more hunters in the woods to control the herd and to keep this sport, we all cherish, alive.

Ballistics is ballistics. I'm gonna have to differ with you here O.I. As much as I respect your expertise in these matters, I went with the personal reasons and not the raw numbers. The people who sit on this commission are very knowledgeable. I'm quite sure they're well aware of the numbers,and the numbers get pretty dry, pretty quickly. I tried to stress the fact that with a less brutal recoiling gun, I would be able to bring my young grandsons into the sport much earlier, hence, contributing immediately to the DNR coffers and perhaps in the longer run, becoming lifelong stewards of our wildlife.

IMO those are still Facts, i.e. data, and not opinions - especially not of the type being promulgated by the opposition.

I got several replies in fact, as I also asked Jennifer about this constant inuendo I see posted in regards to the underhanded deals, crooked legislaters, favors being exchanged, etc.
