Buck Alley - I am describing a small but vocal section of hunters - nat all bowhunters. That is not my intent and never has been.
Search my posts - see who was more then a little vocal about the proposal for early MZ - I was asked to speak for the anti early MZ (PRO BOWHUNTER)at the Auburn BP meeting, but could not because of work.
I am a bowhunter 1st and foremost - belong to NYB - just do not agree at all with the official stance.
Am I am finding I am far from alone.
My points on the modern compound (I hunt with both recurve and compound) are just to show how small the differences are to one when compared to the traditional equipment the seasons where established for (and I DO NOT SUPPORT GOING BACK TO THAT!)

Bashing of all bowhunters - NEVER.
Pointing out the weakness of the arguements of some hunters - ALWAYS.

Ps - writing this getting ready to go out this morning - taking my APA Mamba - one of the fastest, quietest bow out there - modern.
