JZarr, I' m sure you saw davidmil' s quip about how poorly trads shoot at the 3D' s he attends. Not picking on him, particularly, because that' s about the 9,375th time I' ve seen that jab on the forums. It was disrespectful the first time and just because it' s been repeated over and over doesn' t make it any more respectful. And, like I said, it does not mean those same trads can' t make good, clean kills in the woods by keeping their shots within their own limits.

For anyone that can' t figure out the concept, I' ll shoot at a rubber deer from anywhere someone drives a stake in the ground. It' s a flippin' target, fer cryin' out loud! I won' t take a hunting shot with my stickbows beyond 25 yards because that' s how far I' m confident I can put my arrow where it is supposed to be. Most other trads won' t shoot beyond 20. A great many limit themselves to 10 or 15 yards.

The point I' m TRYING to make here is the name calling and gross, innacurate generalizations and misinformation are being fired in both directions, by both parties. If anything, that article should be taken as a warning to all of us. This idiotic garbage has got to cease and we have got to reach an understanding among ourselves.

I still don' t hold out much hope that will happen. Somebody will go digging around and pulling up dirt that was swept away several years ago, just to keep the flames fanned. Just like what happened here on this thread.

I think it' s about time Charlie P explained his motives for posting it.
