I had a great mentor early in my archery learnin' who said something very similiar. He told me to never shoot "at" or shoot to "hit" game. He emphasized the "shoot to kill it" and "shoot through it" mantra. I abide, and tell others I have hunted with the same.

I think we all have more in common here than we have different.

Pace, I have areas that I only bowhunt and have been in bowhunting only leases. But rifle hunting has a place in my seasons too.
Nothing wrong with bowhunting only, especially if the property is ideal for it.
Xbow for me will be only when compounds and recurves and I can not be efficient.
