Put an iron sighted 4 5/8 Colt single action in your hands and tell me what shot is easier. Havingdone both I'll take my bow any day.

You see, this is what I'm talking about.....don't be so narrow minded, sure a slug gun with a scope like my H&R Ultra Slug Hunter Deluxewould drop that deer very easily with no problem at all, but that old Colt is a risky proposition at best and the bow is far more accurate in that situation, and easier!

Move that yardage out to 40 yards and I'd probably pass on the shot with the Colt due to the distance but I'd shoot my bow in a heartbeat.

Something to chew on........
Amen John for using the pistol analogy. Shooting purely off hand I bet you that 90% of the guys on here have better groups with their bow at 40 yds than I do with my pistol.

Inever make a distinction between gun and bow hunters, because I grew up around a lot of people that did both, especially after bow hunting really took off in the 1970s. I know that avery few gun huntersmake disparaging remarks about the belief that bow hunters cripple more deer than they killed.I don't think that is fair since most of the bow hunters are very diligentat practicing their marksmanship. On theother hand one canecounter some bow hunters who are pretty vocal that using a gun is lazy or unsportsmanlike.I think that its perfectly fine to be proud of your form of hunting. butwhen you have to put down another style, whether it be bows or guns,to do it, then you are asking for problems.

It's a lot harder than people think, I'm just trying to open some eyes here.

Drawing a bow back with a deer at 10 yards can be a chore alone! I've gotten busted a few times doing that!
I know...I done itmany,manytimes. I've also hunted with a single action Colt 4 5/8 in barrel, iron sighted. I'll take my chances with my bow.

Bowhunting take more time and is harder to take one. It takes a gun hunter two are three days to get one and a bowhunter one to two months to get one. A gun hunter just has to see one standing at a 100 to 200 hundred yards are they have about 50 friend that hunt to drive for them. A bowhunter has got to get them close and standing.
I quit! [:'(]

Class is in folks........Everybody,THIS is what I'm talking about, right here!!

I'll give you my Colt revolver and I'd just LOVE to see how may deer you can kill 100-200 yards away.....You can have ALL the people you want to "push".I'll be sure to check back with you in "two or three days" to see how you've done.

You all are sissies. I go out, butt naked, with nothing between me and the world but my dangly parts. I slither around like a snake and sneak up on a deer. I then put him in a trance with my Hindu/Vulcan mind tricks I learned as a youth growing up in the Himalayans, raised by a pack of Yetis. After I get the deer in a trance, I use my Zen skills to apply the five point exploding heart technique I learned while being held captive by a breed of Amazon swim suit models using me as a sex slave to help repopulate their species. Then I conger my spooky and mystic powers to cause the guts to fly out of the body, the skin to fall off, and all the meat to package itself and deposit it in my freezer at home. So I don’t want to hear any more about how much you guys are hunters. Ha, I fart in your general direction. Your mothers were hamsters, and your fathers smelt of elderberries. Now go away or ill be forced to taunt you a second time.

I'd rather floss the neighbor's cat's teeth than repopulate any AMAZON tribe of swimsuit models. Pygmy's are hotter.

Whether we choose to wear scentLok or not wear scentlok.....we are all still bowhunters.....and daggone it.....HUNTERS, first! I think it's ridiculous to make fun of another class of HUNTER because he chooses not to employ all the methodsy you do or do not choose to employ. It's divisive and has no place in the HUNTING community.

We are all HUNTERS. We should not alienate one group of HUNTERS because they don't do things the way WE do it.

He who lives in non-scent-Lok houses should not buy butt-out tools

Sounds to me like Bernie's testing the "free agency " waters for next years bow hunting contest.
