I think people get too wound up with this "bow only" or even "primitive only" vows. I myself do what I want to do. Sometimes I want to take my selfbow, sometimes even a compound, sometimes a side lock, sometimes a pistol.
I get these pics on my phone and people are so wound up with making sure I know they killed it with a bow in gun season. Not sure why people do that. Hunting can be real unenjoyable if you start to compete with other hunters. Only person you have anything to prove too is yourself.
