The best one liner is a well-placed arrow that hits the target with authority.
I have had positive interactions at the indoor range with compound shooters. Just last week, a guy that I have seen shooting there 4 or 5 times, suddenly asked, "did you make that bow?" I said, yeah I did, out of osage. Wanna shoot it? He stepped right up and I handed him the bow. I had to coach him on his grip, as he was trying to straight wrist a bulbous handle. Once he got that, the arrow fell of the nock, but he picked it up with no shame and nocked it again, started to draw, then turned to his buddies and said it pulls a lot harder than you would think. He got it to about 3/4" draw and sent the arrow down range at a snails pace to hit 2' feet low....but then he turned and grinned like a kid who just shot a bow for the first time.
He was pretty interested and all of a sudden my best buddy.
The reason compound hunters dont just pick up a rifle, is because the compound gives them access to archery seasons which are generally longer seasons. Also they are before rifle season, so you get first crack at the animals. The increased number of bow-hunters is really starting to hurt archery hunting here in Oregon.
