This 'no need to practice' baloney is the exact reason our archery club is 80% traditional for the first 6 months of the year, then 80% compound the last 6 months. It's been that way for the past 6 years.

Why do so many compound shooters hate shooting their bows? I say that because it's human nature. When people enjoy doing something, they make time available to do it. So, since these folks refuse to shoot, then they obviously hate shooting.

So, you folks that do not shoot archery but still bowhunt, I'd like to know three things:

1)What is it about compounds you hate so much that you refuse to shoot any more than you absolutely have to?

2) Since you dislike shooting a bow, why do you even mess with bowhunting to begin with?

3) What gives YOU the right to come on websites like this, where people who live and breathe archery hang out, and start whining about folks not seeing eye to eye with your attitude?

It's the folks that live and breathe archery who have the right make the rules, not part time, relunctant participants. Yes, that is the classic definition of elitism. I believe in it, wholeheartedly.
