I am in support, though mainly a bow Hunter. The safety risk is no different than what was previously legal. More accurate, in general, as well.

Deer are up on their feet around me already. Sounds like several below me, in the dark.

Found a couple nice rubs when checking cams. A nice scrape near by, as well, that I put a cam over.

I got tired of messing with the bad switch design of the Nockturnals and bought some CleanShot Nock Out nocks. Easy practice mode, easy to turn off, super bright.
You buy one set and they have bushings to fit nearly every arrow size. They fit very well in my Gold Tip Kinetics.

Here in Switzerland it will be mixed. There are a lot of hunters that don't have a shot over 75 yards, so there is no big need to change to HPR. I'm that way except for my #1 location. There I will use my HPR, but other spots I will use my shotgun and finish up the slugs. My longest shot ever taken was 85 yards and the rifled slug dropped it on spot. I have some longer shots at my Switz Co property, but that's why I've always used my muzzleloader. I will be using my .308 this year, given the chance. I've got 9 full days of prime pre-rut bowhunting days still to get through.
