Hey ya'll,Some cool facts on hunting!!!

Every time someone proposes an urban bowhunt, the antis dredge up this myth that hunting isn't safe. Maybe the non-hunting public buys into that argument because much of hunting involves guns, and we all know how dangerous guns are. Not.
And new studies show that when kids of non-hunting parents want to go hunting (and by the way there are more and more kids who fit this category), the number one concern parents have about hunting is safety.
When those letters to the editor hit your local papers about how hunting isn't safe, you need to respond with facts and figures. Thus, I've decided to put some relatively recent facts on outdoor sports injuries, published in a new document ("Families Afield") put out by the National Wild Turkey Federation, the U. S. Sportsmen's Alliance, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation that talks about removing hunting regulation barriers at the state level so that more kids can hunt.
These hunting data are for all hunting. When we look at the injuries per 100 participants, we find that football is listed as the # 1 most dangerous outdoor sport, with 18.8 injuries per 100 participants. Of every 100 people playing football, 19 get hurt. Ice hockey is second with 15.9 injuries per 100 participants. Boxing is next (12.7), then soccer (9.3), cheerleading (9.0), basketball (7.6), and baseball (5.8). Those are the top ten for injuries. Touch football is # 14 at 4.4, Tennis is # 21 with 2.5, aerobics is # 25 with 1.7. Where is the dangerous sport of hunting?
Hunting is # 29. Of all outdoor sports, when it comes to injuries per 100 participants, hunting is # 29 with 1.3 injuries per 100 participants. "Families Afield " also looked at firearm hunting accidents and found that .005 % of all 14.8 million hunters were involved in accidents. Also, .0005 percent of all 14.8 million hunters were involved in fatal accidents. What about kids and these firearm hunting accidents?
Only .0001% of all 14.8 million hunters who were in accidents involved supervised youth hunters. And only .00002% of all 14.8 million hunters who were involved in fatal accidents were supervised youth hunters. We need to get this information out whenever the animal rights folks come to hammer us in the press on the safety of hunting.
So, bottom line is that parents allow their children to participate in football, soccer, cheer leading, aerobics, volleyball, tennis, basketball, etc., and all have a higher injury rate than hunting. Many have a higher fatality rate than hunting. Hunting is very safe, and it gets safer every year.

USS New York!!!

USS New York was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center .It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft. Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite , LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003 , "those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence," recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. "It was a spiritual moment for everybody there." Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, s aid that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the "hair on my neck stood up." "It had a big meaning to it for all of us," he said. "They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back." The ship's motto? "Never Forget"
