BigJ12 - recurve/longbow shooters back then fought compound because they were easier to use. They'd bring in more hunters. they were a short cut to the hard work people had to dedicate into mastering a recurve/longbow. They were afraid seasons would be cut short, bag limits reduced. They were afraid that the face of bowhunting would change and what IS archery would be lost. They feared ............... what compounders are fearing now.

Ironic, isn't it ?
