Would you still shoot a bow if you could never hunt or bow fishing with one again?
I mean if bow hunting and bow fishing was outlawed world wide. So, shooting a bowwouldonly be paperand foam(some kind of target).And poaching is not an option.(lets say,all the animals died so there is nothing to poach).

RE: Would you still shoot a bow if?
I would these days... but now's a different story. I shoot a lot; some of it is to stay sharp, and some of it is because I purely enjoy it.
When I first started? That's a different story... I picked up bowhunting SOLELY because of the longer deer season dates (Oct. 1 - Jan. 15) back in college to feed myself.

RE: Would you still shoot a bow if?
Good question
Hunting with a bow is the only reason i gotinto Archery. It means i have to travel to a country that allows bowhunting , but i love the idea of taking game with bow and arrow . At the moment i can only shoot 3-D and field , so i have not exactly felt the rush you get from hunting game yet . I should imagine it would be bit harder forsome of the guys on here to go to just shooting Target after experiencing bowhunting . For me it would be easier to sayYES , for the simple reason that i have not experienced the hunt yet .

dont see why i wouldnt. i wish i could count how many rounds of ammo ive fired from various guns..shooting just for fun and just to shoot. i really enjoy shooting my bow. i might not shoot near as much as i do now, unless i got into tournaments or something, but id still shoot.
