Bowhunting a sport or life style ?
Okay I'm not trying to get anything started just interested in seeing how many think of bowhunting as a sport or life style.
I think of it as a life style, Good Hunting.

I started shooting a real Bow in 1956. I arrowed my 1st deer in 1958 & have Bowhunted Biggame ever since. I've been in nearly every aspect of Archeery/Bowhunting you can think of from Competition shooter, Bowhunter, State & local archery/bowhunting official, Archery columnist, story writer, bowhunting deer Guide & a Archery lane Pro shop owner nearly 20 years. Now, I just enjoy Bowhunting (the start of my 54th year) & going with my Adult Bowhunting children & now my G-son.
I have never gun hunted any biggame though I see nothing wrong with those who do.
So, is mine a lifestyle or a sport? hmmmm, I think both...
Some photos of those many years.

For me it's both.
It's a lifestyle for obvious reasons but if it wasn't also a sport I don't think it would be worth pursuing. If you could go out knowing that you would bag Mr. Big or put meat in the freezer with little to no effort then what would be the point? I'd just buy a steer to kill for food.

Definitely a life style!
I gotta agree with Ben here too.
It's what makes me tick. If I didn't have it, I'm sure there'd be something else, just not sure what. There is no point in the year that I am not thinking or doing something towards bow season.
