I'm 41 - not a kid, by any means.

A lot of compounders are just as dedicated as traditional guys.

I bend over backwards to help the technically inept prior to bowseason. Spine matching, FOC, broadhead tuning...many of these things that are not any where near as important in traditional as they are with compounds.

There are yahoos in every lot...I can't even begin to tell you the number of guys who believe their saboted 12 ga is the ballistic equivalent of a 7mm Rem Mag.

The majority of compounders are dedicated, ethical bowhunters.,,I really believe that. Or they will become dedicated, ethical bowhunters in the near future, or they will quit. Rallying the troups around crossbows only invites a whole other groups of yahoos to the bow season. I can't see where that helps anyone.
