Man, I've been looking for one, I need to shut that thing up!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I've seen that guy!!! Or a few hundred just like him. LOL


I have no problem with what style anybody shoots. If I could shoot a stickbow nearly as well as I can a compound, I would. Simply for the simplicity of it. I am NOT saying compound shooters are evil, or that traditional shooters are. My only complaint is the lack of courtesy that many of the open class shooters display when on the course. I admit that I don't and haven't attended the larger regional or national shoots. Maybe if the purse was a few thousand dollars, I wouldn't have a problem with guys taking so much time to be perfect. But at the local shoots that I once attended, where the 1st place purse was maybe 25 to 50 bucks, I just don't get it. 3-D shoots were supposed to be fun. Some of the best memories I have was on the course. Usually with me, an open class shooter, and a traditional shooter all together in a group. I never begrudged a traditional shooter for having a closer stake, and I often would just shoot for fun and shoot from the open stake. It's when the stakes are so high, that it's just not "FUN" anymore.

I'm sorry if I contributed to the hijacking of this thread. Getting back to it, and the topic of goals, everybody's goal is to shoot a perfect round. Nobody that I know goes to a shoot with the thought that "I only need a 250 score to beat the other guys in my class". If we weren't all trying for a perfect score, what's the point?? With that in mind, the most challenging way to do that is with a stickbow.

If you think it's so easy, why don't you give it a try? I think you'll see your score drop considerably. And since when was shooting pins an advantage over a magnified scope and adjustable sight that you can set at 42 1/2 yards? We don't just bracket (that would depend also on the speed of the bow) the 10 ring and let er rip. We aim for the 12 ring too, or try to anyway.

The elitist attidtude from trads toward anyone else that doesn't shoot trad, goes much further than that!

DC - love the Sig..............LOL

It's a classic, I had to steal it for a while, just to make arthur toss and turn at night[8D]

ArthurP,

I have three questions if you wouldn't mind indulging me:

1. What does the progression of technology have to do with someoness attitudes toward what type of animal others shoot?

2. How is this different from someones attitude toward what type of equipment someone else shoots (you're just replacing the terms animal and equipment).

3. Would "technology progression" still be the reason for these types of attitudes if it were a trad trophy hunter making fun of someone for shooting dinks, spikes, or does?

Come on Dude...................

Its quite clear a trad shooter would NEVER put another down for doing something diferent than them

But you would have to shoot trad to know this...........

WHO CARES!!!!

Convince me next week is opening day then we will talk....

Rack, a few questions:

Did you honestly want to be convinced?
Did you think it was actually possible to have someone convince yourself of your question?
Did you already have the answer to your question before you asked it?
Are you having fun on/with this thread?

Just wondering.

I won't say I wanted too (that would take an admition of wrongness[:-]) But I could of been. could still be - but I have been hijacked.......I even forgot what this post was about


I had MY answer - of course. Was looking for others answers.


Yes. But I "think" I am right - with the narrow playing field of competition Archery - or being super good at either. It would have to be a bomb to sway me


We CAN do all the above, and STILL have fun - Right??
