Commission accepts petition to remove compound‑bow let‑off limit from NAC 503.144

The Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners accepted a petition from Henry Evans to remove the compound‑bow let‑off limit from NAC 503.144, voting to accept the petition as presented.

During discussion a commissioner asked why the restriction existed and whether it remained relevant to archery success. One participant noted that only four other western states retain such caps and that many states have removed them. The petitioner’s point — that modern equipment and practice have changed since the limit was set — was not disputed in the transcript.

A motion to accept the petition as written was made and seconded; the commission approved the motion by voice vote. The acceptance of the petition means the commission will consider rulemaking steps consistent with the petition process under state procedures.

Minutes and accompanying materials will record the petition acceptance; the commission did not specify immediate regulatory text changes at this meeting.
