Silent,

Your missing my point completely. I am not against compounds or shooting deer at 60 yards or tigers at 100 yards. For the third time, I am not trying to impose my standards. My point is simply that the bowhunting experience is completely different when it's done at close range with more primitive equipment. I regret that mamy beginners will not get to experience the whole range of bowhunting experiences, if the equipment becomes too advanced. I do not think it has gotten to that point yet, but I do wonder about the future and at what point I will look at it and say, it's hunting, but it's not bowhunting.

PABowhter brought up a topic for discussion that is going to have more then one point of view. I have no problem with different opinions. That is to be expected. We should all be allowed to state our opinions without being accused of trying to "impose my standard" on someone else. It's just an opinion, not an attempt at forcing someone to do it my way or to think exactly like me.
