Default RE: Bow Weight,Arrow weight, and ETHICS ?

I have went to the ETAR since it beginning and I feel the 90% of those I watch shoot there shouldn't be allowed in the woods with sharp sticks.
I'll tell you how well that'll be recieved. You flat pissed me off! [:@] What kind of nonsense is that? That's the kind of stupidity I expect to hear from compounders! Let me 'splain it to ya, since you obviously ain't got a clue.

Some people are newbies and/or haven't quite gotten it all together and don't intend to hunt, but are out trying to learn and improve. You trying to scare them off by being so damnably judgemental? [>:]

Some people shoot fine when they're by themselves but simply cannot shoot well with other people around. It's called performance anxiety. So they're not supposed to be out shooting and having a good time? [>:]

Some people simply don't intend to shoot beyond 10-15 yards at game but enjoy shooting 30 yards and over at targets. Are they supposed to stay home just to keep from annoying you? [>:]

Some people are getting older, eyes going bad, creaking joints and the whole works and aren't nearly as good as they used to be. But they still love getting out and shooting and hobnobbing with other traditional shooters. You think the old timers should just stay home and watch TV because their skills have declined to a point lower than you find acceptable??? [>:]

Everyone has a distance they can ethically shoot at game. It's longer for some, shorter for others. Just because you see some of the short range hunters not doing well at the longer targets does NOT give you the right to go around saying they shouldn't be allowed in the woods.
