Okay, I cleaned things up. Now lets keep this thread civil and on topic or it's going away and some of the offenders will go on vacations. There's no reason why you gentlemen can't discuss the topic of this thread in a civil manner. Let's leave the personal beefs out of it. Thanks!

At some distances (like you stated) or better said, at the distances that I shoot my bow at, no I don't think I would get out shot.. Say for example, 40 yards and in, I would take that challenge every day of the week.. I'm shooting my bow free-hand so of course I would expect the riflemen to do the same.. I can hit spots all day long from these distances and I feel very confident in my shooting.. To be completely honest I do shoot my bow better then I shoot my rifle, reasoning being that I don't care about shooting rifles and love shooting bow, which I take great pride in..

I am your huckaberry. I can pull off 0.5" groups offhanded. But if you can, you might want to look into an archery career.

I am not a very good archer.

Things I need:
Sight, can't hit the broad side of a barn without one.:s10:
Release, can't shoot a decent group without one.

Like I said in my "deleted post" (which you get carried away with), it's about choice, wether or not you participate in a given thread. If you don't like it simply move on. It's somewhat of a shame the way this site gets censored . I've been a member for quite a while and I've not seen the likes of it. It's no wonder many have gone elsewhere.

Exactly! That's excellent advice. Some of the folks that posted in this thread should take it. There's always someone who claims censorship when a post is edited or deleted. It's less about censorship and more about keeping the discussions on this site civil. The members of this site can have a passionate discussion about something without getting mad and getting personal. The owners of this site don't want people to post whatever offensive content they want and launch personal attacks on people at will. The vast majority of us are adults and we should act like it.

Must be nice. I shoot better groups with my bow than I do with my rifles.

Personally.... I 'need' to have fun. And hunting is fun for me, on just about any level.

I need to be comfortable to have fun (usually).

As far as bow equipment goes. I feel that I personally need a good sharp head, on a decently heavy arrow. A bow (compound if you want me to bring something other than salad home), and some sort of sight reference. Currently, that would be pins (or pin).

I'm quite far from shooting a bare bones rig, but I have taken a step or two back from where I was two or three years ago.
