RE: Bow Weight,Arrow weight, and ETHICS ?
I'll jump in and add something ........ I can shoot pretty good. Hell, I should as I've shot thousands of arrows in the past few years.
I can outshoot a lot of trad guys - I can outshoot my buddy who killed 2 deer this year and 2 deer last year with his Morrison 49# Shawnee. But he went 4-4 on hits/kills, and I went 0-3 on hits/kills with my 52# Adcock.
I'm a better shot on the range, but I can't seem to kill deer. He kills deer.

What apology? I'm responding to exactly what you said in that particular post. I've got a zero tolerance policy to anyone who says those kinds of things, in whatever context. I've had to fight too many compounders for saying trads shouldn't be allowed in the woods to have to put up with it from someone who's supposed to be one of our own.[>:]

Just for the record, folks... Should have explained this better before but when the neck goes red the brain doesn't function properly...
The comment in question:
You know that an anti-hunter is gonna be licking his chops over a comment like that, and he's certainly NOT going to go back several days in the discussion to ferret out the context in which such comment was made. It may already have been copied, cut and pasted on an anti-hunting website with the comment "Here's what traditional bowhunters say about themselves."
Not to mention that comment is very close to the line, if not 2-3 yards on the OTHER side of the line, of breaking forum rules. Refer to forum rule #4. I have highlighted the key phrase...
Odd that, in all the years I've been participating on this site, I've never once seen this rule enforced when derogatory comments are aimed at traditional bowhunting on the bowhunting forum. Hmmm... [:-]
The comment in question:
I have went to the ETAR since it beginning and I feel the 90% of those I watch shoot there shouldn't be allowed in the woods with sharp sticks. See how well that will be received.
