could they actually be good in this regard?
x bows. yes, they exhibit different responses from different people. I for one am not a fan of them except for disabled hunters and the like. But I had just read the editors stump in Peterson's Bowhunting World by Jay Strangis, and he brought up an interesting point. altho Pope and Young along with many other hunters do not consider this to be a bow in the traditional sense (the compound isn't in some minds), he made mention of it as a recruiting tool for young hunters to cut their teeth on archery and move up to a compound or traditional equipment. An interesting take on it. I suppose it would be almost like a compound user taking up traditional equipment after using his compound. a ladder to sucess of sorts. first x bow, then compound then traditional equipment. never really saw them in that sort of light. food for thought.
