I think we should be proud of our achievements. Our tools are the product of our mind, to make us more effective and efficient at what we do in this world. No different with bowhunting or any type of hunting. When we decide to kill an animal, might as well consider it dead, we make those decisions before the season even opens imo. I don't see a downside to our achievements. The beauty is we are free to make the choices that make us happy, some guys want every advantage they can get, some want the highest possible challenge(traditional shooters for example), no matter. I think its easy to understand/explain the new goodies as it helps us achieve better results, attain our goals. Nothing wrong with that...there's still wildlife that needs managing the world over so its not like they've made us that much more effective imo. Next on my list of goodies is a rangefinder though i seem to have a fair handle on range guestimation without, practicing on gophers etc. and proof in the last 3 deer i shot, all in the heart. These things make our life easier, we can get away with less practice etc. more time for family etc. be more efficient in the kill itself(reducing the odds of wounding etc.). I'm all for it. Its still not a walk in the park taking animals with a bow. I wonder if its supposed to be difficult, or where you draw the line on how difficult its supposed to be for it to be 'right'?
