wolfen great post, I will only take issue with one statement, "Rifle hunting is much more dangerous and many more hunters are injured or killed every year in
comparison to bowhunting."
In Va. there was a total of 5 hunting deaths this year, only one was due to a gun, another to a heary attack, the rest were people falling out of tree stands. I still can not get over the fact that people are either to lazy or to stupid to use a safety harness. I will concur that in a weapon accident a gun accident is far more likely to result in death than a bow accident.
