Raceway,
Do what if right for you...seriously. Don't worry too much what others say.
Two days ago I left the Eastern Cape of South Africa. I was there hunting exclusively with a bow. I was told by everyone I'd be lucky if I shot one animal with a bow. The terrian was steep, rocky, vast, open, and water was extremely abundant (sitting at waterhole was not an option). Despite the naysayers, I came home with eight new species of wildlife under my belt. The slow bows cased their equipment and pulled out rifles (they spent too much money to come home empty handed). I, therefore, know exactly what you're talking about. Hunt for you and find that equipment that works best for you! When you have all the confidence in the world, you'll thumb your nose at those who ridicule you. Best of luck to you my friend.
Sounds like you had a great time on the trip, congrats on the hunts!
