What do you like to shoot more? Bows or guns?

Compound, recurve, semi-autos (rifle), bolt-action, shotties, pistols, revolvers?

I think bows are more fun because they require more than just pulling a trigger. And the fact that I can shoot all day without the police knocking at my door.

    It requires practice with ANY weapon to become, and remain, proficient.

    Personally, I think I don't get enough practice with my mortar, grenade launcher unit for my Garand, or my cannon.

    I think the mortar is the most fun!

    I own all kinds of primitive and modern weapons and I have to say I prefer throwing weapons that don’t break. I have some throwing knives that I have used thousands of times and they still work fine, are very quiet and take up little space. Bows are fun but arrows will wear out, bend or break, fletching will wear out, string have to be replaced and bows take up far more space than a throwing axe or knife. That said I prefer a gun and where I live I can shoot guns in my yard all day long year around. In fact friends and I fire off full size black powder cannons in my yard, now that’s fun!

    your are an idiot if you think firing a gun is pulling the trigger, it's like if i would say shooting a bow is just pulling and releasing. Shooting a gun demands internal calmness and stability. Trigger control, proper breathing. Call of duty is not like the real world.

    Q: "What do you like to shoot more? Bows or guns?"

    A: All of the above. I'd love to have the time & money to shoot more of them and do it more often. :-)

    Reloading your ammunition probably costs less too. but i like firing off my semi-auto handguns. Sorry but keeping a 2" target group at 20 yards with a 9mm takes some practice when you get to be my age.
