    What's the deal with everyone using suppresors?

    Is traditional archery hunting unethical?

    The trad archer that flings an arrow at 40 when they're only competent at 25 yards is no different than the compound shooter who has practiced at 50 but flings it at 90....or the rifle hunter practiced at 200 and has no idea what the projectile is doing at 400 other than the back of the box...
