RE: Elitist attitude
ORIGINAL: Big Duane Silly me, I always thought of archery as a hobby, not a religion. Traditional archery though, its a year round love, its much, much more than a hobby with few exceptions. So if you think its a hobby, you're missing it, you don't get it |

RE: Elitist attitude
"Archery is a hobby to crossbow and compound shooters for the most part with few exceptions. Its their way in to early hunting seasons without the dicipline and difficulty it takes to master trad archery."
Well...for ME it is also a carreer:) However, that blanket statement is actually incorrect. I know plenty of compound and crossbow archers that shoot more andhave more enthusiasm than some of the trad guys I know. It isstill a "hobby" to most everyone. It only turns into an "obsession" whenit overshadows everthing else... Wyvern |
RE: Elitist attitude
Wyvern Crossbow I said with a few exceptions, but I'll stick with that blanket statement. MOST compound and crossbow shooters haven't shot since the end of archery season. They don't shoot much year round, its only a few weeks before archery season do they even think about it. Because crossbows and compounds are so accurate and easy to shoot, its not neccessary to do it 365 a year. Heck look no further than archery shops - when do they get most of their business ? August/September I'd wager, thats when my local shop goes to 6 days a week, 7-6 or hours likethat.
I guess I am. I do not worship the bow. Its a hobby, you really need to get a life. I guess I dont get it. Im headed out this weekend with a bow I made for a man to test it out on hogs with arrows I made from ceder. I dont see that commitment from you. And yes, its still a hobby, nothing more. What do you know about my life ? |

Your superior powers and hunting prowess should afford you better hunting than those loser crossbow and compound shooter, as well as the unthinkable gun hunters. It boils down to your notion of being better than all because you do things your way and believe that everyone, other than yourself, are lazy slugs that do not deserve to enter the woods until the all mighty Duane has cleared. Talk about delusional.:eek: |
RE: Elitist attitude
Why is it OK for you to make blanket statements about MOST compounder's and crossbower's but not OK for anyone to make blanket statements about you? It's because my / our /youropinions are wrong, and his are right. It doesn't matter what we think or know or believe, we're just wrong. It's fine for him to apply his views to the 3 million or so bowhunters/ archers in this country, he is our voice. I guess we all just need to accept that. I know I have. :eek: |
