SafeBackyards.com: Animal Rights Hucksterism?

It is stated on SafeBackyards.com that the purpose of its existence is to oppose a bill that reduces the current bow safety zone to 150 feet. The reason represented is a concern for safety, but such a rationalization is impossible to justify based on facts.
Bow hunting is an exceptionally safe activity. Data from the National Safety Council shows that during the year 2005 there were 38 bow related injuries (nationally) out of 20.7 million total hunters in the U.S.A.

I got a late start on opening day for the 2009 turkey season in NJ. This year my hunting was limited due to a new job and the extended travel that is required. I didn't decide to hunt turkey until the weekend before opening day. After all I was already at the Garden State Bow and Reel for my trout stamp and bait so I figured I'd pick up a Week A for some turkey hunting.

My father let me skip kindergarten in 1956 to go with him deer hunting. He was ground hunting, as almost all hunters did back then, and using paper hulled, hand loaded buckshot shells, from Ray's Sport Shop. He wore an all red hunting suit, as there was no such thing as hunter orange back then. We saw a herd of deer about 3/4 of a mile away with his binoculars, and that was that; we had a great day!
