Unless you object to all of these sports there is no difference between them
EXCEPT one of the instruments used is still in use by the military( and others with ill intent).
Ah, you say, but guns are more efficient at killing-try telling that to the French at Agincourt! Archery had its day.
I can't see where your career has been attacked-you're a civil aircraft pilot,Retlaw was a target shooter- a career and a hobby, both harmless.
