Wingbar,

First, I changed the title of your thread so that it would both convey a summary of the message you presented and yet would also still fit into the subject material of this forum. Threads directed at an individual, even a moderator, are against forum rules and I would like for this situation to be discussed further.

Second, I directed my comment to "ulysses" so in responding to me I take it that you operate under both screen names? What is the reason for this?

Third.....

Coming from someone who shoots a high speed compound bow with carbon arrows and expandable heads I will admittedly acknowledge that the compound bows of today have come along way from the 4-wheel Bear Whitetail style bows of the late 70's and early 80's. I do not think that anyone will argue that point.

However, I find a problem with the fact that you are lumping all current compound bow shooters into a group of irresponsible sportsman who would take unethical, and potentially dangerous, shots at animals at great distances. My current setup is an 80% letoff model with a bubble level on the sight and I would not dream of shooting an animal past 30 yards. I consider myself an above average shot and I cannot imagine the skill level needed to take a responsible shot at distances beyond 40-45 yards especially in our neck of the woods.

I am unsure what type of experiences have led you to develop such a bias against modern compound bow shooters but I would respectfully suggest that you reevaluate it to some extent as it has been my experience that there are more bowhunters like myself than there are individuals such as you described.

Just food for thought.
