compound shooters think of trad shooters as unethical because they aren't nearly as accurate, and wound more animals

trad shooters think compounders have removed so much of the archery from their hunting that its not even bowhunting anymore with the triggers, sights, 70 yard shots and mechanical broadheads

theres your blanket - and many, MANY hunters sleep under them both


If you shoot trad ? Get off your high horse, know that shooting a compound and killing deer IS much easier than your choice in bows, but it still isn't easy. As long as the technology wave doesn't shorten your season, your bag limits, or otherwise affects your bowhunting in any way, shape or form ? Don't worry about it, worry about YOUR hunting.

If you shoot a compound ? Get off your high horse, know that you're choosing a much easier weapon to shoot, and that while trad archers MIGHT wound more game ? Plenty enough are shot and lost with compounds. If YOUR seasons/bag limits etc isn't affected by those shooting real bows ? Don't worry about their hunting, worry about YOUR hunting.


I shot a compound for 13 years, then switched to trad for 3-4 years, and am shooting a compound again this year. I've wounded deer and killed deer with both. I can tell you 100% trad is much harder, and I can tell you 100% compounds are not easy.

Don't be frustrated, unless YOUR season is being impacted by someone elses choices in weapons.
