  • Some people still hunt with bow and arrow, too. That doesn’t mean it’s a good hunting weapon compared to other options available today.
    People do that as a challenge, to increase the difficulty in order to satisfy their own ego.
    But it also increases the chance that the animal will be wounded instead of killed quickly, and will suffer unnecessarily.
    IMO if you use anything but the best available tool for the job, you’re being irresponsible and showing that your own desire to brag or challenge yourself is more important to you than the animal’s suffering.







  • I am a hunter. Pistols suck for hunting in general, even as a sidearm.
    A sidearm is only useful for defense against aggressive animals, and killing wounded or trapped game.
    A pistol is just too weak and too hard to aim.
    A modern hunting rifle can be both strong enough as a primary gun and short enough to use in underbrush, is much easier to aim, has more stopping power, more ammo capacity and is faster to fire than a pistol.
