This.
I shot a bow as a kid for small game, shot a few deer with my granddad's recurve when I was in high school just for kicks. Started shooting competitive 3D and indoor archery in high school, so I got into compound bows. Never planned to become a bowhunter until I got to college and life started getting in the way of hunting. Rifle season is 10days, archery season is 3months. Pretty simple.
I love shooting archery, and I love bow hunting, but it's a tool that I use to pursue something I love. Alternatively, I was born to be behind a rifle. Laying down over a stock and easing into a trigger makes me warm all over, every time.
