But I wonder about you.

Are you telling us that your somehow a better hunter because of your weapon choice?
Shooting traditional HAS made me a much better hunter, but no, thats not what I'm saying. its not about better or not as good .... its about realizing that bowhunting was never with compound or crossbows, it was recurves and longbows until the compound revolution and more recently the intro of crossbows into general archery seasons in several new states.
That has many many compound shooters in an uproar ... you see, they think their choice of "bow" should be legal bowhunting but not crossbows.
Yet, as a recurve shooter I can say that their compounds shouldn't be in bow season for the very same reasons.
Who is elite and who isn't ?
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.
what can't be sub categorized? Greater than 80% letoff, solo cam's ver dual cams, releases or no releases, carbons or aluminums ..... but there is a huge difference between the compound bow and a traditional bow ... undeniable
No kidding! One of the greatest aspects of hunting is the ability to pick your equipment and choose the method that you enjoy. Why is everyone so concerned about what the next guy does?
hell yes ! welcome all the crossbow shooters with open arms to your general WI archery season ... right magicman54494 ? you got no problems with that, do you ?
