Even though they only make up some 5-7% of the total, depending on which survey you read, they are bowhunting the way it was originally intended and do deserve some consideration.
People originally walked to where they were hunting. Is that the way it was intended to be? Do people who walk to their hunting area deserve special consideration? Also, was it "intended" that hunters should shoot carbon or aluminum arrows or is that OK so long as they are shot with a traditional bow. How about plastic vanes, are they OK? How about fiberglass bows were they what was inteded? But really it's a non issue because no one is advocating that traditional equipment should be made illegal.
