I hunt with both my stick and my Hoyt. If you had trad-only units, that would necessarily mean taking units out of use for general archery hunters and there are already enough restrictions on archery as it is, and too many units requiring a draw. I'd be opposed to it.

I would oppose it too if it meant that units would taken away from anyone or any weapon. But there are units that are not open to hunting now that maybe could be if the equipment were restricted. Patch & ball, stickbows, open iron sights... Put more challenge in it so that the game animal has a better chance of winning the contest of wit versus instinct. It would give the hunter more recreational time, fewer animals would be taken and the state could require that a special "traditional" stamp be purchased; that would be a win-win scenario all around.
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.
