Stealthycat, I'm a little confused as to what your trying to say. I think we are all aware that different weapons have advantages and disadvantages. I think we can agree that some people are shallow and believe their way is the best or only way it should be done. But I wonder about you. Are you telling us that your somehow a better hunter because of your weapon choice? I don't want to put words in your mouth so please explain the point your trying to make. Also remember that trad hunting can be broken down into sub groups. Do you wear modern camo? what type of arrow shaft do you use? Broadhead? Footwear? How about other hunting aids - calls , tree stands, etc. Also remember that long bows at one time replaced "traditional weapons" such as spears.
