Are you an archer or a bowhunter?

Well Said!
I see many bows in the 'bowhunting' class at 3D shoots that have never seen a tree stand, a broadhead or a gut pile. There should be a 'practical bowhunting' subclass: bows would be required to sport at least three scratches, one blood stain and stabs shorter than your manhood.

Consider myself a Bowhunter! Though I love to shoot 3d and other types of targets, thats for fun and to sharpen my skills. The ultimate goal is put myself in a lucky spot and have to confidence to make any and every shot count!!

I'm guessing now a Bowhunter as i've taken 38 Biggame animals with a recurve & mostly wood arrows & most of them from the ground & a natural blind & since compounds & going to trees a ton more consisting of Black Bears, Elk, Caribou, Buffalo, Whitetail, Mule deer, Hogs, Sheep & more. Archer in the past as I "personally" considered it the target part of the sport & having won a few State Bowhunting Championships & a Great Lakes Sectional in my division in my tourny days.
I have & am blessed with 2010 starting my 54th year in the great sport of Archery & Bowhunting......

Bowhunter...,I'm into the challenge I gave up rifle hunting because I no longer found it a challenge anymore and gave up using treestands to hunt from the ground to increase the challenge of getting close enough for that perfect shot.
Next challenge is to go Traditional.

Hmmmmm, I wonder where in the world the OP seen that sig ???
For me... although I do pride myself on my constant pursuit of improving my game, it's ALL about gettin' close when it comes to bowhunting! It's all about trick'n 'em for me and getting the critter within' spittin' distance. I want 'em close enough to hear my heart thumping!
