This sounds like the argument I made to you back when we were discussing the differences between compounds and crossbows. The argument always was that since both were relatively easy to shoot in comparison to a longbow and both are capable of higher levels of accuracy with less practice then is either really a "primitive weapon". At the time I made the theoretical argument that along that same line of thinking then couldn't someone make the argument that a traditional bow was not ethical because it required so much practice and was not as accurate or effective for the average shooter.

Nice idea to bring it back up for discussion.
