bow and arrow or blackpowder rifle ?

 

[ash]

Definitely bow & arrow it's more challenging and ammo is generally reusable. I guess i'm kinda cheap like that.

Iv'e used both.
Bow is more of an adreniline rush.
The BP was cap and ball BTW. Some don't consider it primitive albeit it was around longer than flinters.

I guess it would all depend on what bow and arrow or what bp rifle. If you were truly going primitive, I would say the bow and arrow. And when i say bow and arrow I mean the non-compound type with a wooden arrow like "the indians" used. An old flint-lock rifle or the kind that used the smoldering string would be interesting though.

My preference is the rifle. Either a flintlock or caplock. Don't like inlines, too much of a traditionalist. MS. now allows scopes on bp rifles. Why the F**K have a primitive weapon season if you're going to allow all this modern S**T!!!!!!!!

have you seen that blackpowder Ruger that looks like a bolt action ?

I hate bows, always smacking my forearm....

me too. I would really like to get a flintlock. Had a caplock, but I would like somthing a little more traditional.:nod:

Club.

 

[Thrawn]

I was thinking of saying knife, but you took it a whole notch higher.

 

[alraicer]

pointy stick is were its at, but I would choice bow, been around for ever.

untill arthritis hit me this year, i'd say a bow and arrow is the only way to go. now i am a non primitive weapons hunter. i also dont consider most off these inline, scoped things they sell as primitive.

I used to hunt crocs with a club.

 

[Johnny_Revolver]

You know the gag, lots of us in the club and all had guns? heh...

Bow and arrow...........much more skill needed to be successful. Equipement
used in the "early" days........very crude. More stealth required to accomplish
mission. long gun would have been easy pickens compared to the B/A. IMO.

I have killed deer with traditional archery tackle, but I prefer to hunt them with a flintlock rifle...With a well tuned lock, the flintlock is actually faster than a percussion cap, because the flash hole goes straight into the barrel.

 

[Pumpkinheaver]

Both but if I had to choose one it would be bow and arrow.

I'd say bow and arrow mainly because I don't own a muzzleloader.

While in-line muzzleloaders have introduced black powder hunting to a bunch of new people, which a good thing, I think that an in-line is kinda cheatin'. I personaly shoot a .50 cal flintlock using 405 gr. patched balls, and while I can't shoot at anything much past 75 yards or so, that's the way I like it. There is something about the smell of burnt black powder on a crisp, cold autumn morining. I'm getting chills just thinking about it.
