Though I cannot imagine why but a fellow moderator of yours chose to delete the post where you asked me to explain why I think archery season should be cut back/compounds/crossbows eliminated,etc.
As I recall you asked if I was an archer yes and have been for over 40 yrs.
You also asked if I was a traditional archers as opposed to modern...wel When i started as an archer that was ALL we had by today's definition of traditional. But I made the eventual swing to a compound as I aged.
Why would I like to see no compounds??? In truth the original compounds weren't much of a problem, BUT today's bows shooting shafts of carbon, with expandble heads, levels,sights,vibration dampners, etc. are a long way from the origins of the sport. When a 30 yd shot was a long one while today a 50 yard shot is possible as well as a few who claim with their 90%+ let-offs @ 80-100# peak weight flinging 100 yd shot at LIVE animals is WAY past what the sport originated from...I think you'll admit that.
How do we limit farther technology in this sport???? we can't so best thing to do is eliminate them entirely from the sport and go back to hence the sport evloved.
Guess you know where I stand on inlines ,. WB
