I'm sure they also remember the days when someone actually had to accomplish something before he could feel proud of himself.

I pity you, SA, because you will never get to experience the kind of bowhunting that I once knew. Of course, you won't understand and think I'm being a smart@$$, but I'm actually being sincere.
We used to look at all new products with one thought: Is it good for archery and bowhunting?
Now there are guys like you who's first question is: Why do you guys care?

I like it exactly as it is.
The hunting public has the right to decide for themselves whether or not something is good for bowhunting.
Silentassassin - have you ever gun hunted ? Killed a deer with a gun ? Was it everybit the same challenge as your compound deer kills ? Why or why not were the archery kills ...... harder ?

So you'll not be in favor of any more technological advances in modern archery I take it ?
disagree. The state G&F must decide, because if the populace is allowed to, we'd decimate the deer herds with unregulated killing and slaughter. Its human nature to search and destroy

"Hardcore traditional zealot." SA, I might have been offended if I didn't know that comment came from a "hardcore techie zealot."[8D]
You might be suprized to learn that I'm not considered traditional by many other traditional shooters, not traditional at all, because I also own and use compounds and crossbows. Also, there are guys out there that don't consider a bow constructed with man made materials to be traditional. To them, a compound simply does not qualify as archery at all. Some flatly refuse to use the term 'traditonal'. They are simply archers and shoot archery with their bows made from all natural materials. They call the ones who use laminated glass and wood bows 'plywood benders' and say guys with compounds are engaging in an entirely different activity they term 'mechanist archery.'
Those are the guys I call "hardcore tradtional zealots" and they are proud to be called that.
How would you reconcile your no-holds-barred, unlimited technology vision of the future of bowhunting, including the blanket legalization of crossbows, with their point of view?
