Some of yall are bash'n rifle hunters and thats a load of bs. Not every one has the time to bow hunt and some can't do it either because of a disablity or old age. Ain't nothing sissy about hunting. Killing is killing no matter what your weapon is. I had to give up bow hunting due to a disablity, so I rifle and muzzle loader hunt now.

But we both love archery and I think that is what really matters.

I think what matters is that no one confuses what makes a man manly with anything to do with what instrument he choses to hunt with. Hunting is a sport, a hobby, a recreation, something to do in your spare time for enjoyment. If you think how you do it or even if you do it makes you manly then you need to grow up. Like someone said, if you want know what makes a man then look somewhere other than this bs poll. Bob Dole once said that the measure of a man is in "how honest you are, in how you face adversity, and in your willingness to stand fast in hard places". Don't fritter away any time thinking about whether or not hunting with a compound bow makes you a sissy. If you want to be a man, think about how to be a good provider for your family. Think about how to be a good son or daughter or sibling and think about how to be a responsible citizen. Think about doing things that will leave the people around you better off because you lived. Have a nice day gentlemen!

IMHO, making a good shot on an animal is the most important thing you can do. I know alot of traditional guys and compound users who don't practice enough, and wound deer every-year. To me, that's the worst possible thing, yet these same guys seem to do it year after year......
