RE: is bowhuntin gettin to sophisticated?(sp)
What is basically happening here is Stealthycat is playing the Devil's advocate.
We all have beliefs specifically in what is fair in terms of equipment. Certain lines are drawn and we build justifications in our own minds as to why one piece of equipment is "fair" and "ethical" and another is not.
All Stealthy is doing is questioning our beliefs about those "lines" that have we all have drawn...nothing more.
I have two comments though. What happens when the day comes when a person isn't allowed to use a particular weapon unless they can become proficient with it at a given distance within a week's time?

How would it feel if someone said "You can't use a long bow or recurve because it takes too much time to master" ? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I think that is the way that alot of the compound shooters are interpretating some of the posts on here.....as a personal attack.
Second, Arthur P...I didn't miss that "challenge" in one of your earlier posts.
I accept.
With one exception....
...it isn't an 80 meter-fixed distance shoot....it is a 3D shoot with unmarked distances out to 50 yards....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>[<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
