Whoa guy...............I simply answered the OP's question, and you come out swinging. Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have really bad shoulders to the point where I cannot draw a bow back, or even cock a crossbow with the cocking device that comes with it. So.....my "adapt and overcome" is that I don't archery hunt. I cannot walk very well due to a serious back injury, so......my "adapt and overcome" is to black bear hunt over bait!! And...yes there are those, even on this forum, that will ridicule someone for "sitting on a barrel of donuts" to shoot a bear. This is how I adapt and overcome. What I find is that people, even good conscientious people, take walking for granted. We take our feet for granted, until we either don't have them, or they do not work as they are supposed to. So....some of "us" understand hardships even though they are life's hardships and not military hardships; but, nonetheless they are still one's own hardships. One does not have to go into the military to face many of life's challenges, real life also creates many hardships as well. I suffer from complex-PTSD, and it isn't from being in the service; I am Viet Nam era and was not eligible for the draft.
Man chill out. From what you have written and the way it is written one could say that you are whining about people whining. We all have our crosses to bear, cross bow hunting seems to be the OP's cross; and.....it's not in the form of a bow.
