This looks like fun.  I've never been on a group hunt like this before.

OK, I found the 2011 link at the top for the directions.

I will try to be there, this sounds like a good time.

Don't mess with the OH rabbits, man - they'll bite yer head off!   :D

Those aerial targets were tons of fun though I don't think I hit a single one of the danged things.  Ready for more!

"In Ohio a 40# bow is the legal minimum."

This is on page 3 of the GORH website. I am going to try to clarify this.

I only find mention of the 40lb requirement for deer and turkey hunting. There is no mnetion of archery hunting for small game at all in the 2010/11 regulations book.

When I go online to look at the "Allowable Hunting Equipment" portion of the web site and listed for small game, this is all I find ---"Longbow - includes compound and recurve bows"
There is no mention of poundage requirements.

I'll try to get ahold of my local game warden and see what he has to say.

I got the poundage issue cleared up.

Their is no minimum legal poundage when hunting game other than turkey and deer.

A bow lighter than 40lbs of pull is perfectly fine to use when busting bunnies.

I got this answer when I called ODNR office in Columbus.

I've never been to anything like this.  How many arrows should I bring?  I only have a dozen right now for my trad stuff.  Should I pick up another dozen?
