To each his own. I could care less if a buddy was shooting an ol' stick pole, recurve, compound, or crossbow. I do care that anyone I choose to hunt with is ethical, safe, curtious and friendly. We all have a responsibility to pass on a great tradition and not nit pic over bow types, arrows, etc., etc.. We can offer our suggestions but let us all shy away from using this great forum as a BULLY PULPIT! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
