    I've looked at archery talk.com a little And there is a lot more people on that one but on this forum it seems like everyone is bow to say more closer on here and it seems there are more a**holes on archery talk to in my opinion. Do you guys feel the same way about this. I really like this forum alot more then that one what do you guys think k about it?

    I would say your assessment is pretty spot on and I will leave it at that...I will refer to Fergs answer as well :)

    Two different animals. Lets keep it that way. Cross breeding is frowned upon.

    I have always had the impression, most posts on that site are geared more towards an Olympian target shooter, or super tuner, and less towards actually hunting.

    This site is more like hanging with your boys... That one is more like a full fledged dumpster fire.

    I have to say you are probably correct.

    I use both. I do not visit AT much at all but, when I do it's mostly about ASA or IBO subjects and to sift through the classifieds. I enjoy the target aspect just as much as the hunting aspect of archery.

    There is way more BS and un knowledgeable individuals spreading bad advise on there as well. There are a few on here from time to time but, enough that know what they are talking about to call those BSer's out.

    This is my home sight and unless something crazy happens it will always be.

    I like this site better but if this place had the kind of traffic that AT gets you'd see the same thing here.

    Every group has its fair share of "special" people. AT is great if you want to buy or sell a bow just because of the numbers. Here it seems as I am still a newb the chances you will get ridiculed are less likely and you can disagree with people and not end up hating each other. Seems to be a good bunch of folks.

    I'm a member on AT also. There are a few or more bad apples. I cruise these threads here and threads over there. In General on AT seems like a lot of repeat threads started of the same question by different members. They do get a lot of noobes. Don't get me wrong very helpful site there is a lot on knowledgeable guys.

    I have an account on AT...don't ever go over there. The folks on here are MUCH more friendly. I mean not forum is perfect, you got jerks on every forum, Just AT seems to attract all the keyboard gangsters. I'll just stay here and few other forums i'm on and be happy...happy... happy.
