I help out locally at an archery shop working on the odd bow and helping answer questions. I help organize a shoot or two a year. I choose to hunt with a bow all season, because I enjoy the up close and personal aspect and the end game doesn’t NEED to happen. I am quite selective when it comes to some species and others fill my freezer (partially because of my wife’s taste in wild game).
If that makes me a purist...go ahead and place that label on me, I have been called worse. I wouldn’t call myself that, I would just say I have a passion for archery.

a person who adheres strictly and often excessively to a tradition Is a purist....sorry lefty your credentials have you over qualified
but if I have a problem with the ol'bow I will source your skill sets out to get me back in the field....when I brought it in for an upgrade as in a peep sight, new sights and arrow rest the young fella had to play with the bow to adjust my draw length do to the fact I also went to a release....asked me a few times if I would like an upgrade as in a new boy...nope this fills the freezer and has put a few heads on the wall.
poor Op I bet he/she checks out the biggest derailed thread in history but at the same time probably has a chuckle or two.
