i got a bunch of statements like "people still use tose" and "where are the cams?" and "there is no way that can kill a deer"

sence it was a snake bow i also got alot of stuff like "did you paint the front of it?" and "is there any way you can straighten it back out?"

strange people with strange questions out there.  :D

coyote pup:
Yeah, it really is amazing (though not in a good way) how most people believe it's impossible to have something good unless it is boughten. And that goes with anything, not just primitive archery.

I've been in similar situations to what you're describing, and even been put down because of my "stick". Well, guess what - 4 things I won't apologize or say "excuse me" for: My God, my family, my country, and my "sticks". So I found a way to usually put and end to the critics little hayride when they start traying to put down my gear by comparing to their "Matthews 300fps Super-Cam". I was at work one day and a guy who hunts deer a lot was trying to compare. He said,

What kind of pounds does it shoot? I said about 60. He said, "How long can you hold it back?" I said, only a few seconds if I want to shoot straight. He shook his head and said "I'm shootin 80lbs, and I can hold mine for quite a while, got 85% let-off, no problem at all."

"What kind of FPS you get with that? 200, 250?"   I said, nope, about 130. He shook his head and said "I get about 300 with mine."

"How far a shot can you take with it? 30, 35 yards?"  I said nope, I wouldn't take more than about 20 with it. He shook his head and said "I can shoot out to 50 with mine, no problem. Just set my sight and I'm ready to go."
 
I could see where this was going and that he was only trying to put down my equipment, so I decided to throw up a question that he couldn't even HOPE to compete with. 3 words - YOU MAKE YOURS?  He looked at me funny and said "No, I bought it for $1100."
So I just laughed and shook my head. That ended that conversation.
 

Postman:
Did you get to shoot one of his 15 dollar carbon / mechanical broadhead arrows at your door with his wheelie bow? You should see if he can pull HIS out and hunt with it. ;D

woodstick:
so easy a cave man can do it. i dont know why they think our things wont work primitive hunting gear has been on gods place way before cams and carbon, so they are just eat up with the old gota keep up with the jones. one thing bout it when it comes down to money if we aint all got none shame on them cause they cant go by a bow and hunt n-joy shooting, where we can go out not spend a dime and make something to hunt with, so who will be the peps giggling in the end. us cave men.
