RE: Politically correct to be a traditionalist ?
When I say it is not P.C I mean that we as traditionalist are often hesitant to say what we may feel because then you come across as someone who is against compounds. Since the majority of people shoot compounds what they do must be ok it seems. Who is going to say when we have " progressed" enough. Mr Sheply points out that he thinks we can go to far but he has never seen any of the more outrageous equipment choices in the woods. I am glad he has not but if these people can afford to keep advertising this stuff then somebody is buying it. There is even a kit available to make a Ruger 10/22 rifle shoot an arrow. Is this archery? Whos to say it is not anymore. As far as standing with the majority because there is strength in numbers and we need to stand together to fight the anti hunters then consider this. We will not change the antis mind anymore than they will ours. The vast majority of people are not hunters or anti hunters they are non hunters and when the image that is being presented when we go to far is looked on by them as non primitive they will vote to regulate us right in with the gun hunters because they will not see the difference between a modernist and a traditionalist. It seems we can all fall together just as easily by standing together and being afraid to go against the majority. Our own silence will be our end.
