At the same time, I presume, you're implying that I am self righteous and determining for everyone else how they should hunt?
That would be correct.
No. I'm exercising my right of free speech and expressing my deep, strongly felt conviction on this issue.
I am all for you having an opinion and I am all for you expressing it. However, when your opinion is based on selfish values and threatens the rights of other hunters I have a porblem with it. It's one thing to express opposing views but to support laws that ban a type of hunting, well I just think that's foolish and dangerous.
You say you haven't seen anyone proposing banning traditional on this thread. You've darn sure seen the kind of crap that can be used to get it banned. This 'trads can't hit anything at the 3D shoots so they shouldn't be allowed in the woods' line is one of the main things the anti-trad crossbow faction I was monitoring on the net are putting high priority on getting out on the forums.
Arthur,
I think you have been watching too much conspiracy theory.
I haven't seen this movement as you see it. However, I wouldn't jump in a conversation about people saying the trads can't hit anything at 3D shoots etc. for one because I don't know if that's true or not. I haven't been to a 3D shoot in a few years and haven't shot with any trad shooters in much longer than that so it would be hard to argue something that I do not know the merits of. For two those people are expressing opinions on a particular type of equipment which I have no problem with (even yours) as long as it doesn't suggest laws that could potentially hurt the sport.
And brother, there's a tub full of ignorance on a lot of these forums
I don't think anyone's arguing with you there
You didn't call the guys who made those comments to account. In my opinion, that makes you, and all the others who haven't done so, complicit in the demonization of traditional shooters, by default. Now do you understand my comment?
See the above response.........................but to answer your question, NO.
