I agree with Charlie on this. I have no problem with someone doing it "harder" than I do it. If I had the time and the gumption to become proficient at traditional archery, I would. But I dont so I wont. Fact is, it is harder. I feel the same way about impressing or offending the antis. I could care less what they think. They will never have enough backing to take down the hunting culture. We contribute way to much money towards the economy vs. their bring nothing to the table existence, for me or "us" to waste time to even worry about it. JMO.

DO think us compound shooters are threatened when a man makes such a statement (I say "us" as a community). I think we're threatened any time what we do and have so much passion for is in ANY WAY "diminished".
Not me.Trad is more difficult to master, there are plenty of people that hunt in a harder way then I do. You would have to have a pretty bad self esteem or worried what others think not to be able recognize your not alway's "the man".
