RE: competition/hunting bow?
Many shoot 3-D competition with their hunting setup and do very well. When you become hooked on 3-D's and want an edge to increase your scores it's time to purchase a competition bow with all the bells and whistles. Scopes, top shelf carbon arrows and a bow set up for speed will help increase your scores especially on days when your range estimation is not at its best. For spots like the field/hunter or 900 round, a bow with longer axle to axle and mild cam are much more forgiving. Shooting the field/hunter round you shoot 4 arrows at 28 targets or 112 shots plus pre-tournament practice. This course of fire is at many different yardages and target sizes in a walk through course. With many hunting bows the draw weight is heavier and the faster cams can make a shoot like this a choir. The longer axle to axle are also much easier and smoother to draw.
