I am lucky enough to have access to private land, some with very few hunters, some with none other than myself, but I am still nervous about going out on opening day--them high-powered rifles got quite a range on them!

Chad,
That is precisely why I am a bowhunter today. My last gun hunt was 18 years ago in West Virginia. I was "out in the sticks" 2/3 of the way up a ridge all by myself, I thought. Then I head a whining whistle of a bullet as it went over my head and then the sound of the loud retort of the rifle followed. Three more bullets whistled and the sound of the rifle followed in rapid order.
I crawled up behind a tree and said "Lord, get me out of this alive and I'll sell my rifles and find another way of hunting, or quit." I did just that and bought my first compound. I wandered in the wilderness of gadgetry for 15 years until I sold my last three compounds and bought my first trad bow.
I now have a Chek-Mate Crusader and have found the bow for me! I'm not interested in going afield with the bloomin' pumpkin suits (John, I like that!)!!
