    Bow & arrow is so fucking hard to use, gawd. I tried to use one of those tricked out hunting bows at a paintball tournament once, it was pretty embarassing.

    Pulling back a wooden bow is hard as fuck and impossible to not look girly if you've never done it before. When I first pulled back one of those my arms hurt like hell after just a few minutes. I don't push weights, but I'm def not a twig. Even my older brother had trouble keeping a steady pull and he hits the gym regularly.

    They should ban hunting with all guns and make those lazy fucks use one of those longbows to hunt. That takes skill, not aiming a scoped, infrared, auto-correcting, high-powered rifle at a deer 20 feet away while you chomp on your Oberto beef jerky

    The problem with that is that because it is much harder to hunt with a bow (and less effective), many inexperienced or unskilled bow hunters results in lots of injured dear running around the woods and dieing slow painful deaths. Bow hunting has gotten more popular over the past couple years and in recent rifle seasons the groups we hunt with have had to trash a bunch of deer because of gangrene.

    Up here in Montana it is required that you take a Archery Hunters safety course to get a Bow tag to help prevent these problems. However it is still an issue due to the fact that the course is just 8 hours of sitting and listening to rules which most dumbasses never follow and there are just not enough officers to enforce the rules. I like to bow hunt but up here you pretty much have to use a compound bow just because the range you tend to take the shots. A re-curve just doesn't have the punch that a compound does. The big benefit to archery season is it opens earlier and alot more places were you don't have to get a special tag. Also archery season is the only time you can get a nice bull elk with velvet still on and that is one mount I will have on my wall. My friend has a 8x8 with full velvet and it looks amazing.
