Do you think it was right, years ago to let compound bows into the archery season? After all they were vastly different than the long or recurve bow.
Nobody is answering that, because they themselves use compounds and they'd be effectively be arguing themselves out of their own chosen weapons !
Funny huh? Maybe they all just "missed" that question so I will post it again.



Do you think it was right, years ago to let compound bows into the archery season? After all they were vastly different than the long or recurve bow. Far easier to use, longer range, could be held at full draw far longer than traditional bows. They had sights, a trigger release, were more compact than a long bow and you could hunt from more concealed places and so on.

Do you think that was a correct decision?

I would like to see how some people rationalize this.

It was ok back then to bring in something new and VERY different AND include it in the SAME season, but now it's completely out of the question...unless it has it's own season.
