RE: Does using a compound bow make you a sissy?
Ok if we use this logic
The only hunters were true hunters, were the ones caught the critters with their hands.
Man
Caught Critterswith hands then ate
Throw Rocks at critters then ate(Sissy)
Made Spears to kill critters then ate(sissy)
Now the the biggest sissy, old cavemen actual to a stick and string and flung an Arrow at game, they did not even have to get close the game. I mean they are 15 yds away. lol
My point, if you are a "Trad. Hunter" work on your hand to hand combat, or pick up a rock!

I don't think so.
I do think using a high powered rifle from 200 yards away with shooting sticks makes you a sissy though. Just my opinion.

RE: Does using a compound bow make you a sissy?
All depends on where you live, and how you want to hunt. These same guys that you are calling sissies could call you unethical because you could wound a deer easier with a bow. Who says hunting should be harder? I mean that's cool if you want it to be, but some just want to put game in the freezer and/or keep the population in check. And using a bow isn't always going to do that. If it's legal I say go for it. And always remember there are waay more gun hunters than bow hunters. Go a head and call them sissies and piss them off. Next thing you know there will not be a bow season for some stupid PC reason or another.
I personally don't think hitting a deer at 200 yards with a rifle is that much harder than hitting one at 20 yards with a bow. Other than you have to get the deer closer with the bow. But I don't see where that has anything to do with being a sissy or not.
Wrestle one to the ground and beat it to death with a rock, then I will be impressed.
I never like where these discussions end up eventually.

RE: Does using a compound bow make you a sissy?
I put yes it does...but it also doesn't...
You see...I shoot a compound bow...
Yes I am more hardcore than gun hunters, but I'm also a big sissy compared to recurvers and longbowmen.
So...I put yes, it does make me a sissy...because I would be way the heck more hardcore...if I shot a recurve or a longbow...maybe someday I'll upgrade myself.
