I don't know if someone already made this point. The same argument could be applied to rifles. I want to use a .54 cal flintlock with open sights and someone else chooses to use a .408 CheyTac with a high power scope. Both are considered legal to use here in rifle season. Just because I'm making the hunt more challenging with my choice of weapon does not mean the other guys weapon choice is not valid. Its a choice I made. I'm not going to have an elitist attitude just because I want to limit my effective range or the other guys weapon does not appeal to me. I'm just happy I live in a country/state where I'm allowed to hunt with whatever weapon I choose. Well almost, I still can't use my atlatl here for game animals.
