I got to wondering. How many are hunters and how many are just archery shooters?
Edit; shooter meaning you just target or comp shoot-non hunter.

Definitely hunter. I shoot a lot, but I measure each shot against what would have happened. As in "dead turkey!" OR "laughing turkey"

Good one RC. haha. Met you down at Fort Stewart a few years ago at the place where you get your permits on the base and you were kind enough to come by our camp and give us a few helpful hints on Ft. Stewart.
Thanks

started out just shooting, now I shoot to hunt.

I shoot only because of hunting. I really enjoy shooting but when I'm unable to hunt something, the bows will go too.

Both. Back in the day, I won quite a few local tournaments. Young fellas are catching up to me now. I always considered tournament shooting just practice for hunting, however, and always used my hunting equipment. Never had what I would call a target set up. Still enjoy shooting targets, but hunting is what I live for.
