The thing about this soap box that really bothers me is the kids reading this stuff and getting scared to ever try to bowhunt. They think they better have a rangefinder, mechanical heads, pendulum sights and a ..... or they should never walk into the woods.

Add to that list that they might think they'd better have a bow shooting 300 fps or stay home.

Or even worse if they have some moron who thinks he knows it all telling them that they are unethical if they shoot a fast bow.<img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Other than a couple threads here and there , where are you getting all of this "speed speed speed , light arrow , one pin , etc. etc. propaganda at? I dont see hunting mags pushing speed speed speed! I dont see the archery industry pushing speed! I see the archery industry offering bows that will suit the speed seekers along with the log shooters. I see the arrow mfg's offering arrows to suit each! Just about every month I see an article describing how too much speed can create poor broadhead flight or how some hunting mag writer prefers around 250 fps for deerhunting. I dont see posts by members here telling someone new that they need to shoot 300 fps. In fact I haven't seen posts here telling anyone they need to shoot light fast arrows for anything. Someone will usually post a question and others will answer and give advice or tell them what works for them. If you do a search on "carbon -vs- alluminum or light -vs- heavy or fast -vs- slow" posts , the common denominator in all of them will be Arthur P!

Arthur is confusing us with the speed craze of the late 80's and early 90's. No one is preaching speed speed speed any more but Arthurp.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>My problem with Arthur is his arrogance to pass judgment on someone for such a stupid topic and the fact that someone who is starting out might read his post and believe that bull. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
Pretty pathetic isn't it.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Wayne B., I just went back and reread ArthurP`s original post. Nowhere in his post does he even hint about anyone using one pin! What he does talk about is people who think speed alone can buy them a big margin of error savings <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

No what he did was lump everyone that shoots light fast arrows into the same category by calling them all unethical.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>I wish you would go back and reread what ArthurP posted, with an open mind <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>
Why? Arthur damn sure didn't start it with an open mind.
