USF on hunting accidents
United Sportsmen of Florida has released this pdf (small) comparing annual injuries and injury rates for various sports. As might be expected, hunting comes in last.

I thought that the anti guns used to say that the 2nd applied only to muzzle loaders...now it doesn't even apply to muzzle loaders according to them...nope no hypocrites there.

NATE, I think you're commenting on the wrong thread :)
In that report, it's interesting that Bowling and Billiards have a much higher accident rate than hunting (bowling = 49/100k, billiards = 16/100k, hunting = 3/100k). They only counted accidents resulting in emergency room visits.
