Pretty neat stuff here...
I got this off some site on the net...it's an actual definition....
Bowhunting is the act of pursuing or taking wild game animals using a bow and arrow. This practice, however, is about more than the pursuit or killing of game. Even though providing meat for the table is a satisfying feat, there are many more benefits of bowhunting
Bowhunting presents a number of challenges; however, there are three special challenges that set it apart from hunting with modern firearms.
[ul][*]Before attempting to hunt, bowhunters should become proficient archers, which requires dedication, practice, and the development of distance-judging skills.[*]Bowhunting is done at a much closer range than rifle hunting; therefore, it often requires a higher degree of stealth and sheer effort to get into position to make the shot (similar to fly fishermen among anglers).[*]Bowhunters must become adept at scouting, tracking, and recovering game, all of which takes perseverance and patience. [/ul]
While these challenges may be too great for some, many find that these elements add to the pleasure of hunting. Bowhunting is a unique emotional experience because you are so close to the game.
Along with the special satisfaction that bowhunting offers comes the responsibility to master Bowhunting techniques and learn the anatomy and behavior of the game hunted in order to achieve a quick, clean, and humane kill. Pretty neat?

Compounds and crossbows remove the dedication and practice for many. Lets be honest, we've become a bowhunting world of shoot the range with a range finder, draw when the animal isn't in your presence, hold, and when it steps out use your triggered release.
Crossbows are even easier. And you can pick up your compound 12 months after shooting it last and be almost dead on again - compounds are built to be accurate!

adept? Like cam trackers, blood hounds sprays/infrared things, or my favorite, just paying a "guide" or going to a "ranch" and "hunting". Or maybe a big 2,000 pound dump of corn or a feeder we'll sit over and call ourselves "adept"
LOL
Notice that picture - its a bowhunter alright, and notice he aint carrying a compound or a crossbow [:-]
