Someone would still be losing some of that hunting pie they had before. I don't think it has anything to do with medieval times. I don't think they are what the founders had in mind when the created archery season in any manner. We allowed compounds and that is a stretch. Will muzzleloaders be next? Can we bow hunt in the hordes of hunters that rifle season sees? Just practice on running shots, I suppose.

I see some trad guys wanting to allow them and it appears from their posts that they are so disgusted with the technology of the modern compound that they are throwing in the towel. Like how much worse can it get? How about a rail rested shot through a 4 power scope at a deer 50 yards away? Fight for equipment restrictions, but don’t throw our season away in disgust.
