Default Does using a compound bow make you a sissy?

Okay, so some people on anoher forum think shooting with a compound bowmakes you a sissy because you aren't doing all the work. I personally think it's BS to say that, that one's not better, just different. But what do you guys think? I think a compound is a perfectly acceptable bow in the hunting field, and it's easier to manage.

You are talking about crossbows and then compunds->which is it. did you mean "Does using a crossbow make you a sissy?", then I would of put yes. But a compund bow doesn't make anybody a sissy.

Well being this is pretty much a compound bow forum I would most of the answers would be no. We have a traditional forum here for the guys that don't care for wheels.

Ask this question there and see what sort of responses you get.

If I belonged to a forum where guys thought that I don't believe I would belong to it very long.

Everything is relative:

My great,great,great,great,great,great,great,great,gr eat,great..........
.........................great,great,great ...............great.............great,
great, granddaddy Ug who used to kill giant Gigantopithecuses with a sharp rock tied to a stick would definitely call me a sissy for using my super sweet XT to kill a puny whitetail.

There's another archery website???
