I think it is a matter of "degree" and how you choose to define your hunting experience. I'm sure that most muzzleloading hunters choose to believe what they do is more "sporting" than a centerfire cartridge rifle hunter. I'm sure that most bow hunters believe they are being more "sporting" (ie. a better hunter) than a muzzleloading hunter. And I'm sure a traditional bow hunter believes he has a "tougher task" to tag...then a compound user.

It is all in the "eye of the beholder"!
