I don't belive the term "purist" canbe accurately applied to bow-hunting with modern equipment. By definition, a bow-hunting purist would be primitive traditional only. Being a "purist" leads to a "puritan" attitude. Look that one up.
I understand what you're trying to say, Jeff, but there has to be a word that fits what you're describing; one with a definition somewhere in between "purist" and "elitist".
I do, however, loveone of the definitionsI found when I actually looked the word "elitest" up:
Main Entry:
elitist
Part of Speech:
noun
Definition:
snob
Synonyms:
highbrow, name-dropper, pompous ass, pompous person, social climber,
stiff, stuffed shirt
