RE: Politically correct to be a traditionalist ?
No, I won' t flame away. If anything, I might just fan some of your flames back at you.
I shoot a compound too, from time to time, but I shoot fingers and without sights. There are even fewer that shoot compounds my way than there are trads. So, ' they' is the correct term.
I' m personally sick of the ' if it' s legal, then no problem' BS. Just because something is legal doesn' t make it right.
All the heat that' s thrown at P&Y over their 65% rule... Why isn' t the same heat directed at the PGA for all the equipment rules THEY' VE imposed on the game of golf? What about major league baseball for all their equipment rules? Those organizations imposed restrictions in their sport to keep the sport from evolving into something it was never intended to be. And that' s exactly why P&Y imposed their rules of fair chase.
I respect the guys that hunt with all the gadgets, and I' m considerate when I' m around them, even try to help them with some of their shooting and tuning problems. After all, in my own small way, I' m trying to look out for the good of the sport. Having someone going into the woods with an untuned bow and shooting badly is a sure way to get wounded game and that puts a feather in the cap of the anti' s. But it doesn' t mean I have to accept everything ' they' want to do. And it darned sure doesn' t mean I have to remain meekly silent and not speak my mind about it.
