This is so similar to the trolling on archery sites from people who shoot traditional long bows on people who prefer compounds. I use both and I make my own longbows and recurves. I depend on getting 2 or 3 deer a year to keep my family in meat so I will use whatever gives me the best chance at getting them and still keeps me within the law. I have an expensive compound that I use every year until I have at least one deer. Then, I may take my stick bows out. If season is drawing to a close and I still don't have my 3, I will break out the shotgun. Muzzle loaders give me an extra week and no other weapon is allowed, not even a bow. So, I have a CVA wolf I can use during that week. Why in the world would I use less then the most efficient weapon that is legal to get meat for my family? That would just be silly in my mind. I use to make fun of people who had to use a scope but nature has a way of humbling you. I can't even see iron sites now. I don't need sites at all for 50 yard shots or closer but if I do need sites for a longer shot, I need a scope now so I understand scope shooters. Getting old sucks but it largely beats the alternative.
