You know what's ironic about your quote Arthur? No where in this thread did a person who questioned too much technology, put down someone shooting a compound. We all have our personal dislikes, whether it be mechanicals, drop a ways, carbon arrows, shorty bows, low brace heights, or the name Mathews on the side of your bow. However, I didn't notice anyone saying that compound shooters were a problem or that they should be banned from bow season. Some of us are just questioning at what point bowhunting becomes some other kind of hunting. Arthur thinks that being able to hold you draw for 5 minutes has caused it to transgress towards a crossbow or gun hunting. I think that enabling one to reliably shoot a deer at a very far distance will take away from the bowhunting experience. At the same time that I hold this opinion, I also support your right to hunt whatever legal way you choose. I have nothing against any type of hunting (including crossbows). However, if in the future, bows are shooting explosive tipped arrows at 2000 fps that only have to hit near a deer to kill them at 200 yards, you can call it what you want, but to me it won't be bowhunting. Still, I will have nothing to say against you doing it (if it's legal). It's your choice if that's how you want to hunt. I'll probably prefer to called it advanced grenade throwing or rocket launching, but not bowhunting.
