After a person decides to actually try bowhunting, and I mean bowhunting as a sport that doesn't focus on the killing rather its a focus on the journey of the arrow, everything changes. Bowhunting is recurves and longbows, no letoffs, no fancy gadgets, a thing where speed doesn't matter and the drive to make things easier is replaced with making the hunt more difficult.

And ironically, making it MORE difficult increases what people get out of hunting.

Compounds have done amazing things to the archery world, and they have done terrible things as well.
