RE: Ban compounds from archery season - thoughts ??
SC,
So you obviously ignore all the posts here about misses and wounding with compounds? Good grief, this place looks like the "wounding forum" sometimes...and this ain't the trad forum here...is it?. Neither group, trad or compound (or even rifles for that matter), has a lock on missing or wounding...do they? Read the threads on this very forum to get your obvious answer.
On one hand you like to point out all of the missing and wounding that goes on with some people who use trad equipment...but then ignore the fact that the exact same thing happens with some people who use compounds? How convienent for your argument.
Thanks for perpetuating the "wounding myth" of trad shooters! I would have expected more from a bowhunter with as many years to his credit as you have. Please don't ever accuse anyone else, including myself, of driving a wedge again.

Then why do you go on, ad nauseum, about the "similarities" of compounds to crossguns by discussing things like sights, releases, and other accessories? You can't have it both ways. Again...chasing the tail.
As far as your buddies and their track records of misses and wounds... If a person stays within their effective range, they don't go 0 for 5, or 1 for 12 with a couple of wounds. Yes, animals jump the string, and "stuff" happens...but let's be serious. I've got a dollar waitin' on a dime that says their records of missing and wounding would only increase with a weapon that they felt they could shoot even further. My advice for them would be to learn, and stay within, their effective range, or take up a new hobby...like knitting.
