Bowhunter's Broadhead Issue
Comment / About rights activists, conservationists and threats
This issue contains the first of a series of articles by Cleve Cheney on the threat that animal-rights activists pose to Africa’s wildlife (see p 22). It is on a more abstract level than the hunting and equipment articles that most bow enthusiasts like reading, but we would strongly recommend that every reader of Africa’s Bowhunter peruse it. The subject falls into the category of things that are not urgent but are indeed important, and its importance is high. It could and probably will affect every one of us, as animal-rights activists could have a profound influence on the hunting sport in general and bowhunting in particular.
The series is going to elicit comment from the rights activists – the “bunny huggers”, as they are affectionately known. The activists see themselves as protectors and will not like being depicted as a threat to anything. We hope the situation will not degenerate into a mud-slinging contest, since in an emotional situation no party has any hope of convincing the other party of anything. We would rather discuss things calmly, so everyone can take note of everyone else’s point of view. So whether you’re a hunter or a hugger, please do read but please do not get excited...

Wat is belangrik in ’n jagpunt?
Herman Brand gesels oor jagpunte – wanopvattings en doeltreffendheid, die debat oor vastelem- vs oopvoupunte, en sy persoonlike voorkeure.
Seker by elke bymekaarkoms van boogjagters kom daar ’n vraag na vore: wat is belangrik in ’n jagpunt? Daar word altyd heftig gesels oor dié onderwerp. Hoekom so heftig? Wel, elkeen van ons maak ’n persoonlike keuse oor watter jagpunt ons wil gebruik. En omdat dit ’n persoonlike keuse is, sien jy dit as ’n aanval op jou persoonlik as iemand die jagpunt wat jy gebruik, kritiseer. Maar wat is belangrik vir jou as jy jou jagpunt kies?
Die eerste antwoord wat ek gewoonlik van die jagters kry is dat dié of dáárdie spesifieke punt vir hulle akkuraatheid gee. Maar daar is twee sienings oor akkuraatheid. As ek luister na die manne en dames se verduidelikings, dan is die eerste siening dat hulle jagpunte op dieselfde plek skiet as hulle oefenpunte/baanpunte. Nou, hier het baie mense al hulle vingers of hulle beursies verbrand. Hulle luister na die raad van ander jagters en glo dat dié of daardie jagpunte vir hulle sal werk. En sonder om eers te toets, koop hulle die jagpunte en vaar hulle die jagveld in. Nou ja, ongelukkig het hulle slegs ’n duik in die bankbalans om te wys vir die gekweste bok. Ja, jy kan die jagter blameer en in ’n mindere mate sy vriend ook. Eerstens moet jy wat die ...Page 8 in the February 2010 issue |
