If you are looking to make things sooooooo hard.......pass the dinks...............You may have already taged some mature bucks with the ole stick.......awesome!
You're confusing what Hunting is and what shooting is. Its always harder with a trad bow - always. I passed a few dinks with my compound - no challenge in shooting adink with a compound. Every deer that comes by me with a compound is pretty much a dead deer. A Trad bow ? Vastly different game. ANY deer with a trad bow is a heck of a trophy IMO
But just because the stick is in your hand......does not make YOUR hunt any harder than those who carry binary cams .................
THen a gun doesn't make a hunt easier either - using your logic. But then ..... we know it DOES make the hutning easier, don't we ?
I am really starting to think the "stickers" who claim a x-bow is the same as a compound are looking for a self pat on the ole-back.............after all they hunt with a "stick" for Gods sake
I continue to stand steadfast (sorry DB) that a compound and X-bow have NOTHING in common when it comes to form - execution - decipline - and setup. They may very well deserve a season..but not in "archery season".
You don't think shooting a gun takes form ? Execution ? Practice ? Dicipline ? Setup ? Have you ever shot a gun ? A crossbow ? Or are you talking non-sense and trying to use that non-sense to justify your elitist attitude ?
You don't think crossbow shooters get nervous too ? You don't think they need practice too ? You don't think they WAY they shoot effects their arrow flight ?
Are you under the impression you can buy a crossbow at 4 pm, unpack it, cock it, insert an arrow and hit the lungs of a McKenzie at 75 yards ?
Guess what? Recurves and longbows have evolved as much as compounds have!
How ? Go ahead ......... list all the ways. I'll check back later with your revelations
