JLmoore1956 correct. At one time, there was no "traditional" archery. There was archery, and this new thing that people were trying to call a bow that was designed to make archery hunting easier to do.

Hmmmmmmmm, thats exactly the same argument that we find ourselves in today in most states, except archery as we know it now is compromised of mostly compound shooters, and the new bow is a crossbow. Sure, we can talk about all the subtle differences etc, but bottom line, everything that manufacturers do is geared towards one thing - making shooting the bow easier and increasing the chances of you killing a deer.

Now, on the surface thats a good thing, but eventually there will have to be lines drawn in the sand and hard one. I don't know how that can happen with everything thats now considered legal.

But I do know this, once a person decides to make archery hunting harder, to step back into what archery is suppose to be, they develope a whole new mindset on what archery is, and what it isn't, whats important about the hunt and what is not.
