It seems to me on these posts, that there are a bunch of old women bickering back and forth, saying you don't need that, because I don't use those extras, or that bow and so on. People forget very quickly that if you strive to become a good archer and a hunter, regardless of your technique, products, and philosophy, then that is what counts. A good archer. Not just a hunter, but a good archer and hunter. I here this crying on here that some people are mouthing off at, including claims that "this is the real bow you need, and if you don't get this bow or product, then you don't have a real system that works like mine". BULLCRAP!!!!!. If you stripped down all the recurves, the compounds(except for a general pin sight), and the longbows, then people would be adjusting to that plain technology very quickly, and a little less pissing going on as well. Give this post a rest, and who cares about some poll. It goes to show, in the history of poll taking, that there is very little emphasis on truth and fact, and major emphasis on discrediting the polltakers. Instead of listening to fools say "you don't need to do that, don't buy that, buy this instead, you don't have a cool setup unless you have this brand", just go out and shoot. It wil make you feel a lot better.
