Imo, the "caliber wars" will never end. Every time the subject comes up, most everybody picks their personal favorite and insists it's the best. I think that often times they are right, but only for them (and others that have body type and other factors in common with them).
My guess is that this argument has been going on in different forms for a long while. The wide variety and sizes of swords comes to mind ..is a Claymore better than a Gladius ? The best answer is "sometimes" and "it depends".
I'd be willing to bet that thousands of years ago cavemen were saying "you need short heavy spear", "no, spear must be small enough to use atlatl", "you both wrong, need javelin" ... Then the bow comes along ... longbow, composite, etc. plus point styles
I've had a Browning Nomad Stalker for a looong time. It's still my favorite bow (short recurve, but with the power of many full length bows)... look it up on the internet and you'll A LOT of people say it's the worst bow Browning ever made, even calling it uncontrollable. I guess I'm strange, but I would take it over any compound bow I've ever shot and it's put a lot of meat in the freezer. Compound bows are great on paper, and most like them, but to me they're noisy and obnoxious.
and Sal .. the guy my aunt shot was an ex-hubby turned stalker, turned break down the door yelling he was going to kill her.. My granddad gave her a Walther PPK after the incident in exchange for her Beretta, but the guy never bothered her again.
and Kathy.. there isn't much we actually disagree on here
