Must be target shooters. They always want to seperate people. Hunters know what the heck they are.

Mike,
Actually they are hunters. Have you seen the Primitive Archery magazine? It is full of articles about the Primitive archer.
How they make their bows, their arrows, their broadheads, how they tie their broadheads onto their shafts, etc. There will also usually be a story or two about how a hunt by a Primitive archer.
The division of Classic and Traditional archery is contained in an article of the latest issue of TBM. All of the people referenced in the article are/were hunters.

RE: Measuring Stick
Shotgun Red,
I don't believe there is anyone on this board that would tell you that. But, there are groups that narrow their definition of trad to the point that, as I pointed out above, they have put themselves either in the Primitive group, or the Classic group, and then there's the rest of us.
We are just folk who shoot traditional bows, with whatever type arrow and broadhead we choose. We also choose glove, tab or bare fingers, and some use elevated rests. It is a matter of personal preference.

RE: Measuring Stick
Maybe "measuring sticks" are best used on oneself? Personally I don't expect, or want, or even CARE if someone chooses the same tackle that I prefer. One of my favorite 3D partners regularly competes w/a <<cough>> compound. Demanding similarity to the point of exclusion seems a little egotistical doesn't it?
