Why do words always get twisted?
Twisted?? You said:
This is a place where recurves and bows without 3rd axis adjustment don't belong.
DON'T BELONG!??!
Plain English, there. No twisting required. Maybe you didn't intend to come off like an equipment snob and put forth the idea that ONLY guys shooting what YOU like should hunt the high mountains, but that's exactly what you said.
Come on down and visit. I'll teach you how to stalk close to your prey so you don't have to have such complicated and expensive gear.
. I don't respect those that choose to avoid technology and learn by trial and error and wounding animals.we are allowed to give opinions, so here is another. Don't be looking at all those pictures of hunters holding their recurve bow in hand smiling with dead deer at his side.
Thosepictures came at a price and a price that only the wounded animals can talk about.They may have something to show in the picture you see, but those hunters will never talk about all the hard lessons they learned to get there.
Maybe I don't really respect somebody that opts touse technology rather than dedicate himself to becoming a true bowhunter, learning those hard lessons and improving his woodsmanship skills. If you follow your line of reasoning all the way to it's end, I have to ask, why are you messing around with a bow at all? Grab the .300 Mag and call life good.
If you're really interested, there are some very instructive wound/loss statistics broken down between traditional and compound available from the McAllister Army Ammunition Depot in Oklahoma. Data does not back up your claims about wounded animals. In fact, the inverse is true.
