Hunter or shooter ?

[Zradix]

all word play aside...

I AM A HUNTER.
Every bow purchase, every thought of fletching shape, colors, stain on the arrow shaft, tip/head choice....

It ALL revolves around the question of " What might help me put more meat on the table?"

My name is John Kelley and I am a longbow hunter.

I am a hunter, but I try to shoot every day, and often a lot of arrows.  I love watching an arrow in flight, at a stump, a leaf, a target and mostly a game animal.  I practice to be the most efficient  hunter I can, but I get a thrill every time I release an arrow.

Like many people here I believe you should be able to shoot before you hunt.  That said I started killing almost as soon as I could shoot.  Different times.  If it moved and I could see it it got shot at.  I started when I was 7 or so.  Bugs, birds, bunnies, you name it.  Frogs were a favorite.  I got a lot more selective with my shots when I started hunting larger stuff.  Now I recommend that you be able to shot well before hunting.  I'm training my church youth group. In AZ the hunting part is much....... harder than the shooting part.

I'm a SHOOTER - I love archery and firearms and the challenge of putting the projectile, whether arrow or bullet where I intend it to go. That is the joy for me and a living target is not necessary to that end. Absolutely nothing against those who do hunt - I have hunted in the past and would again if I needed to feed my family. At present, though, I just like to watch 'em fly.

I am a hunter and choose to do so with a bow.

[barebow17]

I don't hunt as much as I use to. Health reasons.But I still shoot just about every day.

[Brock]

Hunter first and foremost...I shoot as a means to prepare for hunting....but scores or distances mean little to me other than a process in sharpening my personal skills.

[Rock 'N Bow]

Hunter. I don't care if I score well on paper. Only care if I hit the vitals of the game I hunt.

[bbold]

Both

I do a LOT of both. I am a hunter at heart though.

If given the choice to hunt or shoot 3D (and I could only choose one) I would never shoot 3D again.

I live to bowhunt with my stick bows!

Hunter, I shoot often to ensure clean humane harvesting of game animals.

Hunter.

No disrespect intended to target archers. Target archery is an excellent sport to be involved in, I just have to take it a step further.

[kwc]

[Richie]

I shoot to hunt, but if for some reason I could not hunt anymore I would still shoot.

[Shane C]

I'm a hunter. I shoot so I can hunt

[Aunty]
