Ya suppose a long bow shooter way way back, who had to hunt just to feed his family, who'd never seen a recurve before, looked at a new recurve for the first time and thought, "that's too easy, it's going to ruin my hunting"?

I wonder what the compound bows of 50 years from now will be like. How much easier will it get? I did borrow a compound bow this year that I hadn't shot before since mine was being worked on. I put on a sight, shot 3 arrows, and proclaimed I was ready to hunt. Yeah, they aren't that hard.

I've been bowhunting for 3 years, excuse me, I've been compound hunting for 3 years now. Haven't gotten a deer yet. Took a shot one day, nice doe, 15 yards, perfect broadside, right over the back. Stupid me got excited and couldnt' decide which pin to look at. If I'd had my recurve, I have several of those by the way, I think I could have hit it since I wouldn't have been fumbling around with peeps, releases, cheek buttons, and tru glow pins. Yup, recurve would have been easier, right? Maybe I shouldn't have even been out in the woods in the first place with my lack of experience.

Which side of this argument am I on? Is their a side? Probably sounds like I'm leaning towards the compound hunting group. I thinkeveryone's rightby the way. I just don't see how the clashing of different opinions will solve anything. I guess that's why were here though, to share our opinions. Or is it to start arguments? I love the internet!

Bow's don't kill deer, hunters kill deer. It's too bad a few hunters out there have the mindsight they do. Wish there was a way to make them understand. As my dad would say, time to thin the man herd.

Sincecompound hunting is easier, maybe the season for using a compound should be shorter? That would be a fun thread!

I do know one thing, I wish the world would go back to riding horsesor even bicyclesso all of these cars would stop polluting the environment and using up our resources. Sure a car is so much easier, but they're ruining the world for my kids. I probably won't change the world, but I think I'll stick to riding my pedal bike. At least I know I'm doing the right thing. That's the challenge of it right? Not only is riding a bike harder work and takes more time, but it's the self gratification that I'm doing it the hard way while the rest of the world takes the simple path and doesn't even care. Makes me enjoy it that much more.

I think I'll just go buy a gun to deer hunt and make my life a whole lot easier. So what should I get? Shotgun, rifle, handgun, blackpowder? Anyone?
