RE: Concept archer 99% letoff!
Glen:
Your conclusion that someone is saying that bowhunting MUST be difficult and your description of how difficult someone is saying bowhunting should be, is quite an exaggeration.
I believe the underlying message is that some of the bowhunting gear that is available is responsible for inviting "slob" bowhunters to join the sport, and responsible for putting "slob" bowhunters in the field. I am in a position that enables me to keep these types away from me and out of my hunting areas. Not everyone has the same advantage. If you have not run into these types yet, you will.
Do I consider myself an "elitist?" You can bet your life on it! And proud to admit it! Am I stuck in yesteryear? Only in the minds of those that believe that you gauge expertise and "with the times" on how costly the person's gear is, how recent the person's gear is, and how many "gimmicks" the person uses.
