Snobs they are funny
Posted On 07/10/2009 23:16:10 by billyaraines
Why do some sportsmen think that they are better than others just cuz they can afford all top of the line equipment i was at an archery range today getting in some practice when a guy shows up with a far mor expensive bow than i shoot and started telling me that my bow was a piece of crap i shoot a pse stinger paid about 330.00 dollers for it when i told him that he said he paid 950.00 for his mathews and told me that any bow that costs less than 700.00 is just a waste of money and to prove it he said he would bet me his bow for mine that he could out shoot me we agreed on 60 yards and he missed the entire target with all but one arrow and i got five arrows in a two inch group and the sixth about three inches away from the group he did not say aword went collected his arrows walked straight passed me said f*** you got in his truck and left i just started laughing just thought i would share the story i thought it was funny point is expensive equipment does not make you a better shot it takes practice and a lot of it and people should not be snobs just cuz they have more money just my 2 cents

Good job as everyone said  it is not what you shot it is how you shot.  How do you feel to own a Mathews now.

who cares how much a bow costs as long as you hit your mark. I have a middle line bow, and i know you mean about ppl with top of the line bows. they think their $hit doesn't stink. Maybe a mathews bow makes you a snob? lol

AMEN, Trapper! I think too many people are caught up in the craze of "spend, spend, spend!" There are some truly great bows out there, and they are very inexpensive,too. What about some of the older bows that hunters still shoot? My buddy loaned me his old Alpine bow, that must be at least ten years old. It shot hard and was deadly, and has killed MANY deer in his hands. A man or woman can't BUY their way into being a good hunter. They must EARN the credentials of being a good hunter. And that guy saying that your Stinger was a piece of crap??? He's got A LONG WAY TO GO. In my opinion, he will never make it until he accepts the fact that he's wrong. The hunters who use 30 or 40-year old guns, and regularly kill game with them, know what I'm talking about, too. A deer will be killed with a well-placed shot by just about any caliber bullet. That same deer will live if MISSED by a round from a belted magnum rifle. It's all a matter of skill and sportsmanship.

My dad gave me his old PSE, it's a good second hand bow... Just because the "pros" shoot mathews doesn't make them better hunters case in point: FRED BEAR, great marksman, used a recurve, possibly the greatest most recongized bow hunter EVER! I wrote a blog awhile back about how hunting's becoming a "white collar" sport and you hit the nail on the head with the recent snobbyness. Look at it this way us true sportsman already paid are dues with years of practice, respect, blood, sweat , and tears of joy. You can't put a price tag on that.

Way to go! I can't stand people like that. Giving them a little lesson is always a good thing. It's all about practice and skill. NOT how many dollars your equiptment cost. There are snobs in every sport. I fly fish and the snobs are aplenty in it. That $1000. Winston rod don't catch anymore fish than my Bass Pro Shop $50. dollar rod if the fish ain't biting! BTW I use a PSE Stinger too and it's a fine bow!

That PSE Stinger will kill as good as any high-dollar bow.  Besides, it's all in the MARKSMANSHIP involved.  My wife shoots a PSE Stinger and I shoot a PSE Rogue.  People like that are the ones that give hunting a bad name.  I'm thrilled that you outshot that jerk!
