Just messin' with ya Steve.
Guys, I've been following this thread since the begining, and all I can say is...Archery is Archery.
Wiaxle put it exacly how I see it:
Does it really matter what people use hunt with a bow and arrow? Isn't the whole idea behind this type of hunting to get out into the woods and enjoy it?
and also
There are enough other negative influences out there without sowing seeds of dissension within the ranks of the folks that are already in your camp.
You find more enjoyment hunting with a longbow, more power to you, but don't presume to lessen the way other people draw enjoyment from the sport.
I'm soon going to be getting a longbow. But I will never NOT shoot, or hunt with my compound. I love SHOOTING BOWS and I LOVE hunting. Archery is Archery guys.
