The OP didn't want to entertain such comments or debate, but I must also agree. I don't think it develops much sense of community among hunters when we're bestowing titles upon ourselves, particularly when there's a good chance that title means something else to another hunter.

How would the OP feel if a CF shooter who doesn't own an AR-15 or clone called him/herself a "traditional shooter"?

There's a good chance that I and my compound are looked at the same way I look at someone carrying an inline ML when I'm carrying a flintlock. I'm certainly not going to kick sand in a recurve shooter's eye by appointing myself to his fraternity. It annoys me a slight degree when an inline shooter suggests his weapon is as "traditional" as my FL is. The OP might do well to toss the labels and concentrate on hunting.
