Why must Trad shooters look at compound shooters as if they accomplish less when they mske a successful harvest?
popeandyoungchaser the above is very accurate, like it or not
I just don't understand why we must segregate ourselves any more than we already are?[&:]
may I ?
most states have very good seasons and bag limits for archery hunting. modern compounds continue their leaps in technology. At some point I think , 100 yard shots, 450 fps, 99% letoffs and extreme accuracy will be commonplace, not unlike muzzleloaders now being 1 shot scoped rifles with 300 yard accuracy.
you have to soul search, and find out WHAT archery is, WHAT bowhunting is. Is it 300 fps and 70 yard 2" groups ? is it carving your bow from an osage stave and shooting cane shafts and trade points ?
the belief should be that you choose your bow, and that bow should be allowed in archery season, as long as it doesn't negatively impact archery seasons, bag limts etc.
but its not a popular belief, and compound shooters hate that whole concept more than trad shooters. Why ? because trad shooters are taking the tough road, compounders the easy road, and the "easy road" rarely likes the harder one.
choices.
