Grouch,
You're still welcome to use whatever legal tool that you want to use and make the "sport" into whatever you want it to be for yourself.
I shoot a recurve and that will be the only bow that I take into the woods this year.
They still make flintlocks.
Here's the thing.... You have the freedom to choose. Just like the guy who chooses to use a $2,000 bow.
Freedom is a beautiful thing. Not a reason to complain.
